It’s only one week into the NFL preseason, but it’s already been a rough one for the Seattle Seahawks offensive line. In addition to losing tackle Isaiah Battle in Thursday night’s preseason matchup, the Seahawks also lost Ohio State product Jamarco Jones to a high-ankle sprain. Jones was carted off of the field in the preseason opener, a 19-17 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. Head coach Pete Carroll said that Jones is “day-to-day,” but could miss considerable time as he recovers from the sprain.
Jones, who was selected in the fifth round of this year’s NFL Draft, was expected to compete for the starting right tackle spot with incumbent Germain Ifedi, the Seahawks first-round pick in 2016.
