When the Seahawks take on their part of any NFL draft, they usually leave 12s and national pundits with a lot of head-scratching choices. 2020 was no different. In the first round, Seattle took linebacker Jordyn Brooks from Texas Tech. A linebacker? First? That was weird. But now with the news of K.J. Wright requiring offseason surgery maybe the pick of Brooks isn’t so odd.
On Thursday, Seahawks general manager John Schneider told Seattle’s Sports Radio KJR that Wright needed offseason shoulder surgery. While the injury was not major, according to Schneider, he also did not have a timeline for Wright’s return.
