Seahawks rookie offensive tackle Jamarco Jones had surgery this week in Green Bay to repair damage from a high ankle sprain suffered in last Thursday’s preseason opener against the Colts, Seattle general manager John Schneider said during the team’s official pregame show on ESPN 710 Seattle Saturday.
Schneider did not offer additional details, but the surgery indicates a long recovery for Jones, who could be out for the year depending on how the Seahawks decide to handle him from a roster standpoint.
Jones, a fifth-round pick out of Ohio State, had been impressing with his play at left tackle, and had even gotten a few snaps at right tackle in practice, before he was injured.
