Russell Okung, the offensive lineman of Seattle Seahawks, has sprained his right ankle. In this year’s draft, Okung was taken in the sixth overall pick. His injury might adversely affect the team’s NFL betting odds.
Okung suffered from the high ankle sprain on Saturday, during the team’s first preseason action against Tennessee. According to Pete Carroll, the head coach for Seattle, Okung’s sprain is moderate and he will be sidelined for an indefinite period.
The coach did not comment whether Okung would be able to participate in the season opening match against San Francisco, which is scheduled on September 12. This news has not only frustrated the NFL fans but has also affected the team’s position in the leading NFL sportsbook.
Since several other linemen are recovering from injuries, Mansfield Wrotto will play as the first left tackle for the team, in the preseason game against Minnesota, scheduled on Saturday.
