So, Joeckel. The Seahawks left guard will now be out, according to coach Pete Carroll, 4-5 weeks. Or the biggest part of the middle of the season. Or more scarily, Carroll said, “We’re going to be optimistic that he can make it back in four or five weeks and we’ll see what happens.” Optimistic? Ugh. Seattle signed two higher priced free agents this offseason: Joeckel and Eddie Lacy. Both to one year deals. Neither appears to need to get another contract with Seattle at this point.
Not that Joeckel has been terrible. He hasn’t. Next to center Justin Britt, he has been the Seahawks second best lineman.
