Seattle will be without linebacker Mychal Kendricks for the rest of the season after he suffered a knee and lower leg injury in the Seahawks' win over Minnesota.
Coach Pete Carroll said Wednesday that Kendricks will need surgery for a couple of different issues, including the knee and "a little nick" to his lower leg. Carroll said Kendricks would need at least six to eight weeks of recovery.
Kendricks went to the sideline briefly during the second half Monday night and was examined by trainers but returned to the game. He played 76 percent of the defensive snaps for Seattle in the 21-7 win.
The injury brought an end to a roller coaster season for Kendricks.
