DEVELOPING: Seahawks Carlson, Trufant Taken Off Field By Stretcher

((HT: NFL on FOX/Youtube))

The day hasn't gone very well for the Seattle Seahawks in their NFC semi-final 35-24 loss against the Chicago Bears.

It took the Bears three minutes to go down the field for their first score, and the visitors lost their starting tight end to an injury in the first as well...

Here's the injury...


The third-year tight end from Notre Dame lay on the field for several minutes before taken off on a flatboard. No word on his injury, but the network TV guys are saying it's a head injury- not one to his neck or spine. That leaves the team with one tight end on their roster- Cameron Morrah.

In the third quarter, DB Marcus Trufant was trying to go low and tackle Bears WR Kellen Davis when Davis' knee connected with the side of Trufant's head.

Here's that play...
