NFL Football Players Draft Injuries Rookies Season SuperbowlPublished: September 16, 2009
During the game, Hill came off late in the first quarter and came back late in the second quarter in street clothes.
At the time, it was reported as a "groin injury." After the game, the Seahawks' trainers had the opportunity to run all the tests on Hill, and they came to a consensus that Hill had a groin injury—possibly a tear.
Head coach Jim Mora Jr. reported yesterday that Hill will be out till week eight, after the Seahawks' bye week in week seven.
Yes, losing a starting linebacker like Leroy Hill is a significant loss, but it's not as bad as fans and everyone else is making it out to be.
The Seahawks have two outstanding backup linebackers in Will Herring (took the place of Hill in the Rams game) and David Hawthorne.
Herring recorded two tackles in the Rams game after replacing Hill. Hawthorne had a killer hit on Rams quarterback Marc Bulger, who bounced right back up and had a few choice words for David.
