The Seattle Seahawks offensive line suffered a seemingly endless number of injuries and other ailments throughout the 2023 season, perhaps none more damaging than the loss of starting right tackle Abe Lucas.
After playing in the opening half of Week 1 against the Los Angeles Rams, Lucas was shut down until Week 13 with an unspecified knee problem. His return (and season) was cut short in Week 17 against the Pittsburgh Steelers for the same reason.
At the NFL combine in Indianapolis, Seahawks general manager John Schneider confirmed that Lucas did have surgery over the offseason.
