Seahawks notebook: Carpenter dealing with foot injury
1
By Danny O'Neil
RENTON – Guard James Carpenter didn't exactly start this week on the right foot, leaving the field midway through Monday's workout.
There is some good news, however, since it was Carpenter's foot – and not his knee – that is the area of concern. Carpenter was not on the field for practice Tuesday morning, and coach Pete Carroll's next media availability is Wednesday
Carpenter suffered a season-ending knee injury midway through his rookie season in 2011, returned last year and played seven games before he went on injured reserve against because of that knee. He had arthroscopic surgery in the offseason, missing some of the offseason training, but was ready when training camp began.
Carpenter weighs 340 pounds and has been practicing at left guard behind starter Paul McQuistan. It remains to be seen how much of a setback this injury will be for Carpenter, but it would be a positive sign if it's his foot that's bothering him as opposed to his knee.
