Seahawks lose LB Mychal Kendricks for season to knee injury

RENTON, Wash. (AP) — Seattle will be without linebacker Mychal Kendricks for the rest of the season after he suffered a knee and lower leg injury in the Seahawks' win over Minnesota.

Coach Pete Carroll said Wednesday that Kendricks will need surgery for a couple of different issues, including the knee and "a little nick" to his lower leg. Carroll said Kendricks would need at least six to eight weeks of recovery.

He had hinted on his radio show Tuesday that Kendricks' status was in doubt for this week's game against San Francisco.

Kendricks went to the sideline briefly during the second half Monday night and was examined by trainers but returned to the game.
