Seattle Seahawks offensive tackle Abe Lucas will undergo surgery to repair his injured knee. The exact nature of the injury has not been disclosed, but the operation will aim to fix the problem. It is unclear how long Lucas will be out of action, and the team has not provided a timeline for his return. Lucas, who signed with the Seahawks as an undrafted free agent, was expected to compete for a spot on the offensive line. This setback will likely affect his chances of making the final roster for the upcoming season..
Week 1 was a costly Sunday for the Seattle Seahawks. Not only did they lose their home opener in the worst loss since 2017, but they also lost their bookend starting tackles. Unfortunately, the hits keep on coming for right tackle Abe Lucas.
Not only was Lucas placed on injured reserve earlier this week, but now it is announced he will undergo a procedure on his injured knee. This is a critical loss for the Seahawks, no matter how long Lucas is out.
Pete Carroll said Abe Lucas will have a procedure done on his injured knee. Don’t know the timeline yet for his return. Charles Cross is making progress but not enough to play this week. Has a chance to play next week. #Seahawks

Not that it’s ever a good time to lose your starting tackles, but this is an especially inopportune moment for Seattle. The Lions have a legitimate pass rush, led by the No. 2 pick in the 2022 NFL draft – Aidan Hutchinson. With Charles Cross already ruled out against Detroit, it could be even tougher sledding for a Seahawks offense that struggled mightily once Lucas and Cross left the game against the Rams.

The Seattle Seahawks had a difficult Week 1, losing their home opener and both of their starting tackles to injury. Right tackle Abe Lucas has been placed on injured reserve and will undergo a procedure on his injured knee. The Seahawks will be greatly impacted by Lucas’ absence, especially with the upcoming game against the Detroit Lions, who have a strong pass rush. Left tackle Charles Cross is also unlikely to play this week. This loss adds to the struggles of the Seahawks offense, which struggled after Lucas and Cross left the game against the Rams.
