Report: Seahawks fear Bruce Irvin tore ACL vs. Patriots

By Erin Walsh | Last updated 9/21/20

Week 2 of the NFL season will now be known as the week of torn ACLs. Saquon Barkley, Courtland Sutton and Nick Bosa all are expected to be out for the remainder of the 2020 season with torn ACLs, and now you can add another player to that list.

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Seattle Seahawks fear Bruce Irvin tore his ACL during Sunday's 35-30 win over the New England Patriots.

Seahawks fear that OLB Bruce Irvin tore his ACL, per source, and he will undergo more tests to confirm if fears are warranted.

The linebacker suffered the injury during the fourth quarter of Sunday's game. He exited with two tackles and a hit on Cam Newton. In Seattle's season opener against the Atlanta Falcons, Irvin had three tackles, two quarterback hits and a tackle for a loss.

Losing Irvin is a huge loss for Seattle. The team could rely on Alton Robinson and/or Shaquem Griffen at the position for the remainder of the season. Seattle also has been linked to Clay Matthews as an outside replacement.

The Seahawks, who are 2-0 on the season, will look to extend their record against the Dallas Cowboys next week.
