During practice on Tuesday the Seattle Seahawks watched their first round pick L.J. Collier go down with an ankle injury, which reports later indicated were a high ankle sprain which would likely keep him out for the preseason. Thursday Seahawks Head Coach Pete Carroll spoke to the media after practice, and provided an update on Collier’s injury.
Carroll says Collier has an unusual ankle sprain. Will be out a while. Didn’t give an ETA.
