NFL: Spencer is latest injured Seahawks starter


Associated Press

RENTON, Wash. — Chris Spencer is the latest Seahawks starter to get hurt in the first week of training camp.

The fifth-year center left Friday morning’s practice on the back of a cart following a pileup during a blocking drill.
Coach Jim Mora says Spencer injured his left ankle. Mora said the severity of the injury would be determined later but that “it doesn’t appear to be anything serious.”
Deion Branch missed the morning practice with swelling in his reconstructed knee, but returned for the night session at Washington’s Husky Stadium. The former Super Bowl MVP has had two surgeries on the knee in the past 15 months.
Cornerback Marcus Trufant, a Pro Bowl selection in 2008, has yet to practice in camp because of a back injury sustained last week. Mora has said that is minor.
