Because of an re-injured ankle, it appears that Seattle Seahawks wide receiver D.J. Hackett will not be available for next weekend’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles.  Team head coach confirmed to the Seattle Times that it could take some time to recover from this “problematic” injury.

He originally injured the ankle - a high ankle sprain - during Week 1 and missed the next 6 games.  Hackett had been playing well prior to the injury, recording a pair of 100-yard outings and 3 touchdowns in 4 games played.  Assuming that Hacket does not play this weekend, that would make WR Nate Burleson the likeliest replacement at Hackett’s spot.
