Seahawks running back J.D. McKissic is out 4-6 weeks with a Jones fracture in his foot, according to a report from Adam Schefter of ESPN.
McKissic was at Seattle’s practice Tuesday participating in drills so it’s unclear exactly when he suffered the injury.
A Jones fracture is described as a break between the base and middle part of the fifth metatarsal of the foot. The Seahawks did not immediately confirm the news.
McKissic has been vying for a spot in the team’s tailback rotation and specifically as a third-down/two-minute back, as well as serving as the team’s backup kickoff and punt returner behind Tyler Lockett.
