Cottom, Shields injured during Seahawks practice

RENTON, Wash. (AP) — Two Seattle Seahawks players went down with injuries within minutes of each other during Thursday's practice.

Fullback/tight end Brandon Cottom was the first to go down without contact during one-on-one receiving drills.

As the team brought a cart onto the field to attend to Cottom, tight end Ronnie Shields fell to the turf about 20 yards away. Shields had to be helped to the sideline by a trainer and teammate Jimmy Graham before the cart could return to carry him away.

Cottom's injury appeared to be to his left leg while Shields grabbed at his right ankle.
