Joeckel is out. He had his knee scoped and will miss 4-5 weeks. Joeckel will not play against New York. Or the week after. Or the week after that.
Not that Joeckel has been great this year; he hasn’t. But he has been the second best offensive lineman on Seattle’s team. And the problem is there is no known good commodity taking his place. Mark Glowinski? He has failed enough in his Seattle career that he was benched earlier this season. Ethan Pocic? Maybe he will be fantastic. But he’s a rookie, so no one knows how he will do.
