(GIF) Seahawks Kicker Hauschka Laid Out Trying to Make a Tackle
By Paul Novak
UPDATE: Hauschka has been cleared to play again as it wasn’t a concussion related injury.
Seahawks kicker Steven Hauschka has been taken to the locker room after attempting to make a tackle on a kickoff and getting absolutely laid out by the kick returner.
Hauschka was on his knees for a moment until being taken to the sideline where it was visible his nose was bleeding. Doctors were performing concussion tests and Jon Ryan, the Seahawks punter will take over for kicking duties.
With two seconds remaining in the half, the Seahawks attempted a very short field goal that was mishandled by new holder Chris Maragos who fumbled. The Titans recovered the fumble and returned it 88 yards for a TD to give them a 10-7 lead over the Seahawks.
Hopefully Hauschka will be OK and can return next week.
