Updated at 6:15 p.m.: Seahawks coach Pete Carroll denies that there’s anything majorly wrong with Russell Okung’s shoulder. “He’s fine,” Carroll told reporters at a Monday evening press conference. He confirmed Okung “sprained” his shoulder against the Broncos and noted the labrum could be involved, but he did not confirm a tear. Carroll added that he does not expect Okung to miss practice or any games.

Seattle Seahawks left tackle Russell Okung, who has been playing through pain since injuring his shoulder in Week 3, has a torn labrum in his shoulder, Seattle’s Fox 13 reports.

Okung, a first-round draft pick in 2010, has struggled the past two games after temporarily leaving while playing Denver on Sept. 21. Okung was never put on an injury report and has practiced regularly with the team.

The Seahawks are set to hold a press conference Monday at 6 p.m. EDT, at which point the extent of Okung’s shoulder injury will be made clear, as well as how many weeks — if any — he likely will remain on the bench.

Losing Okung would be another blow to the Seahawks’ offensive line, which was easily outplayed over the weekend when the team lost 30-23 to the Dallas Cowboys at home. Along with Okung struggling, center Max Unger didn’t play at all because of a foot injury, which could keep him out another week.
