Seahawks lose two linemen to injury, illness in preseason defeat to Oakland

Two of Seattle’s right tackles left the Seahawks’ 30-19 preseason loss to Oakland on Thursday night with apparent injuries, most notably starter Germain Ifedi.

Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said Ifedi “turned his ankle’’ but said he also didn’t know if it was serious. He said he didn’t think it was too bad and noted that Ifedi was walking around later.

Backup offensive tackle Isaiah Battle battled illness all week and that it “caught up to him’’ during the game, Carroll said.

Battle was taken out during the first series when he was called for two holds and also gave up a sack.
