Seattle Seahawks starting inside linebacker Jordyn Brooks will miss the rest of the season because of an ACL injury, coach Pete Carroll confirmed Monday on Seattle Sports Radio 710 AM.
Brooks, the NFL's third-leading tackler, was hurt in the second quarter of the Seahawks' 23-6 win over the New York Jets on Sunday when his right leg planted awkwardly while he made a spinning tackle of tight end C.J. Uzomah on the sideline. Brooks immediately grabbed his right knee. He was helped off the field and into the medical tent, carted into the locker room and quickly ruled out for the remainder of the game.
