Patrick Kerney to undergo surgery
Posted by Danny O'Neil
Patrick Kerney will undergo surgery, coach Mike Holmgren said.
The operation will take place in Alabama this week, that much is certain. How long Kerney is out will depend upon what doctors find in his shoulder.
It could be something relatively minor that is causing the pain, Holmgren said. In that case, Kerney would be out a couple of weeks.
Or it could be Kerney tore the labrum in his shoulder for the second time in 2008, and the procedure to repair his shoulder would end his season. Kerney tore the labrum in his left shoulder during the Seahawks' playoff victory over Washington in January. He played in the Seahawks' playoff loss in Green Bay and underwent surgery to repair his shoulder after the season, missing the Pro Bowl.
Kerney is leading the Seahawks with five sacks.
