"Nine-time Pro Bowl left tackle Walter Jones of the Seattle Seahawks will have his second knee operation in eight months. He isn't the only Seattle player who is hurting as 2008 Pro Bowl cornerback Marcus Trufant has a disk problem in his back that Seahawks coach Jim Mora says is "not unlike" quarterback Matt Hasselbeck's condition that cost him the majority of last season. Mora is figuring to be without both players when the Seahawks open the regular season Sept. 13 against St. Louis (Sportsline)."
Tough break for the Seahawks, who seem to go through this kind of stuff every year. I still think they could be the surprise team in the NFC West. Usually the Super Bowl losing team has a bad hangover, so Arizona could be primed to fall apart. Still, the Seahawks need things to start going their way. They picked up T.J Housh in the offseason and that could be huge for Hasselbeck, but he has to prove that his back is 100% and can play a whole season. It is a lot more likely that he will get beat up again when a guy like Walter Jones isn't on the field.
