Pete Carroll wouldn’t say so yet, but K.J. Wright has obviously had a setback in his return from summer knee surgery.
The Seahawks left their Pro Bowl linebacker inactive for Thursday night’s crucial game against the Green Bay Packers because of ongoing issues in his repaired left knee. Wright started last weekend at the Los Angeles Rams but had to leave that game because of pain.
That was his third start of the season. The 29-year-old missed the first six games following arthroscopic knee surgery in late August. He was expected to return within a month, but he missed two months.
