Injury Update: Jerramy Stevens
CHENEY, Wash. (AP) - Seattle Seahawks tight end Jerramy Stevens injured his left knee Thursday during practice.
Coach Mike Holmgren said Stevens fell on the knee during a team drill. Stevens walked off the field, was examined by trainers and was taken to the locker room in on a cart. He was expected to have an MRI later Thursday.
"It was the same knee he had surgery on, so we're a little apprehensive," Holmgren said of Stevens' knee operation on April 25.
He emerged last season as a favorite target of quarterback Matt Hasselbeck on third downs and near the goal line. He had career highs of 45 receptions and five touchdowns.
Stevens engaged in verbal sparring with Pittsburgh linebacker Joey Porter the week of the Super Bowl. He then struggled against the Steelers, dropping three passes during the Seahawks 21-10 loss.
Stevens was Seattle's first-round draft choice in 2002.
