Tough season only adds to meaning of Man of Year nomination for K.J. Wright

K.J. Wright hasn’t had a lot to smile about during his toughest season in a Seahawk career that began in 2011.

He had just come off what he felt was a great preseason performance in the third game at Minnesota — the last time he was likely to play much in the preseason — when he felt a little soreness in his knee. Tests revealed enough damage for a cleanup arthroscopic procedure that it was initially thought might keep him out only a few weeks.

Wright, though, said he tried to come back too quickly, which led to a setback, which turned two weeks into six.
