Ben Burr-Kirven carted off with knee injury

3hOrZiy0PBSl
With the Jamal Adams extension signed and sealed, it's time for the Seahawks to turn their attention to Duane Brown, who is continuing to hold in as he seeks a new deal.

Ben Burr-Kirven’s night didn’t last long.

The Seahawks’ third-year linebacker injured his knee on the opening kickoff.

He stayed on the ground, tended to by the team’s medical staff, while grabbing the hand of a teammate. Burr-Kirven limped on one leg to the waiting cart that took him to the training room.

The Seahawks immediately ruled out Burr-Kirven with a knee injury.

Burr-Kirven had played all 32 possible games in his first two seasons after the Seahawks made him a fifth-round choice.

He was a core special teams player, with 599 special teams snaps and 14 on defense in his career.
