RENTON, Wash. -- The Seattle Seahawks expect to be without starting left guard Luke Joeckel for at least another month, coach Pete Carroll said Wednesday.
It's a longer timetable than what was initially assumed after Carroll said last week that Joeckel was having an arthroscopic procedure on his knee with the Seahawks on their bye. Carroll said at the time that Joeckel would likely miss Seattle's Week 7 game against the New York Giants, but his recovery will keep him out much longer than that.
"We're going to be optimistic that maybe he can make it back in four or five weeks and we'll see what happens," Carroll said Tuesday.
