The Seattle Seahawks pulled off a major win against the Kansas City Chiefs, but the victory came at a cost. Seattle sustained several injuries to key players during the win, and the team may be without multiple stars for the foreseeable future.
The Seahawks are preparing to be without their franchise left tackle. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported that Charles Cross sustained a high-ankle sprain.
Cross is expected to miss the Seahawks’ upcoming Monday Night Football matchup against the Chicago Bears. The star could be sidelined even longer depending on how his recovery unfolds.
“Seahawks OT Charles Cross, who suffered an ankle injury on Sunday, has a high-ankle sprain and will miss time, the MRI revealed,” NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport detailed in an October 26, message on X.
“The hope is he’s back in 1-2 weeks, but it depends on how rehab goes.”
