RENTON, Wash. -- Seattle Seahawks left guard Luke Joeckel is scheduled to have an arthroscopic procedure on his knee this week and will likely miss the team's next game, according to coach Pete Carroll.
After their bye this week, the Seahawks play the New York Giants on Oct. 22. Asked if Joeckel has a chance to return for that game, Carroll said Monday: "I think that's going to be hard to count on that. That's probably too much to count on."
Joeckel has not missed a snap while starting all five of Seattle's games this season, but he's been dealing with lingering effects of the major knee injury he suffered last season.
