That's the word out of Seahawks Insider.
I didn't see the injury and have no insight into the severity. The team will conduct an MRI tomorrow. It's not hard to expect the worst, but we shall see.

Did anyone
see Lofa limp off the field in any preseason games or practices?

It happened in tonight's game.
Though they didn’t show him limping off the field.

BTW they mentioned it being a high ankle sprain towards the end of the broadcast
by Robert on Aug 25, 2008 9:29 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
That means he's out anywhere from two weeks to two months
Assuming there’s no surgery involved.
I guess it’s better to have our team hurt now than in January?

This is somehow the Mariners fault.
Not that the M’s battled injuries this year, they just battled suck and bad luck. Either way, the negative product the M’s have created is oozing into Qwest field.

Putz, Bedard, Batista, Silva, Beltre?
Ms have had injuries.
by Matthew on Aug 26, 2008 8:33 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Yes, but
the Beltre injury wasn’t a big deal, and the Batista and (especially) Silva injuries qualified as good
luck.
by The Ancient Mariner on Aug 27, 2008 8:12 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
You might consider that the reason Silva and Batista have been as bad as they have
is because they’ve been hurt. And you cannot say how Beltre’s injury has affected him.
by Matthew on Aug 27, 2008 9:38 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
No, I mightn't
considering that it isn’t true. They’ve been as bad as they have because they can’t get batters out by themselves, and they have a poor defense behind them (though it’s been better since Reed’s been in the mix). Some of it’s bad luck, but the fact is, they’re pretty luck-dependent for good results.

More information on Lofa's injury courtesy of the NFC West blog at ESPN.
Early indications seem to be that it’s not a high ankle sprain, but rather a knee injury. Clare Farnsworth over at the PI seems to think that it’s a bruise (much like what O’Neill reported earlier)
by BrianL on Aug 26, 2008 8:18 AM PDT reply actions 0 recs
The more I think about it
The more I really think we could be looking at a 6-10 season. The injury bug always hits us, and if I’m Holmgren, none of the starters play Friday.

I know there's no floor, but come on.
This is a team that has pretty good depth. If ’Beck’s back injury is something more severe, I’d be worried about the season, but frankly him not playing the last two games seems more precautionary than anything else.
Losing Lofa for a period of time would suck, but I don’t think it’s a complete season-breaker.

Lurking like a morlock
Between my recent move to Durham, NC and being in Eastern Washington for the better part of a week and a half I haven’t had a ton of time to sit around online in August. It hasn’t helped that I find the M’s completely unwatchable at this point. I have to admit that after a year of sports disappointments taking some time off has actually been something of a welcome break.

BREAKING NEWS
Lofa is done for the season with a high ankle sprain as well as a partially torn ACL. Jose Miguel Romero said it needed immediate surgery after looking at the MRI.
Bad news strikes for the Seattle Seahawks, as Pro Bowl linebacker Lofa Tatupu is now done for the season after a partial ACL tear as well has a high ankle sprain. The high ankle sprain was noticed in the lockerroom in their game against San Diego on Monday, but doctors say the MRI revealed something more troubling
Absolutely sucks, why can’t we have good luck for once? This means Hill and Peterson have to step up their game, or we’ll be giving up 100 yard games routinely.

It's 1 prank!
Why should I be banned for life for a little fun?!
Now, jokes aside, I really think as long as Lofa doesn’t miss 2 months Seattle will be fine. The defense has some solid enough depth to last for a bit. The first half of the season is much easier with stiffs like the 49ers, Rams, Bucs, etc.
Worst case scenario is 5-3, maybe 4-4.
I think Julian Peterson can be the new leader of the defense while Lofa is out, he’s probably the 2nd best defensive player on the team. Very consistent, and let’s not forget about Leroy Hill.
While you may be swearing and calling for my banning, it’s not this terrible end of the world thing like you think it may turn out to be.

There are a few things that just don’t fly:

Threatening to kill the President.
Giving news that Lofa is hurt on a Seahawks blog.
Those are all worthy of severe penalties, and no one here thought it was funny.

Exactly.
If there was knowledge of the situation about how he just had an ingrown nail, or it was kicked, but with the knowledge of NOTHING. It was a horrible joke and down right disgusting. If only there was a glimmer of hope……….

Per Clare Farnsworth, Seattle-PI
Coach Mike Holmgren will address Lofa Tatupu’s knee injury after practice this afternoon.
But the unofficial word is that the MRI that was done Tuesday showed nothing more than what was announced, and obvious, after the game Monday night — it’s bruised, and it’s sore.
by BrianL on Aug 27, 2008 7:43 AM PDT reply actions 0 recs
If that proves out, we dodged a bullet
IMHO, Lofa shouldn’t even sniff the locker room until the team starts gearing up for Buffalo. Let him stand on the sidelines this week in one of those ’20s-gangster-style grey pinstripe suits (and make sure the hat gets cocked at the proper angle).
