Injury update: Why Seahawks WR John Ursua announced he tore the ACL

The assumptions were confirmed as Seattle Seahawks wife wide receiver John Ursua announced on Instagram Live earlier today that he had torn his left ACL.

Ursua left the game on a cart in Sunday’s second preseason game against the Denver Broncos with a clearly serious left knee injury. Ursua was immediately ruled out for the remainder of the match, and during Pete Carroll’s post-match press conference he said Ursua and LB Ben Burr-Kirven both suffered “serious” knee injuries. without specifying the exact injury suffered. Ursua is now the 12th player this offseason or preseason to tear his ACL, according to @ACLrecoveryCLUB on Twitter.

Ursua has become a cult hero despite limited production during his short NFL career. He was meant to be cut or be a somewhat key depth element due to the Seattle Seahawks’ depth in this position, but now Ursua will be out at least until the next offseason. The extent of Ben Burr-Kirven’s knee injury sustained on Saturday remains unknown.
