Seahawks wide receiver Chris Matthews left Friday night’s preseason opener against the Denver Broncos with a left shoulder injury suffered while attempting to recover a fumble.
Matthews was a gunner on the punt team and was covering a Seattle punt in the second quarter. The punt was muffed by Solomon Patton and Matthews dived for the loose ball and rammed his left shoulder into Patton and the turf in an attempt to recover the fumble.
Matthews couldn’t initially extend his arm when he got up off the turf and yanked his facemask off in frustration.
