Seahawks QB Geno Smith leaves game vs. Packers with knee injury

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith suffered a knee injury in the second half of Sunday’s game against the Green Bay Packers and is questionable to return.

Smith went down on the Seahawks’ second possession of the third quarter when he was hit low by Packers linebacker Edgerrin Cooper on a pass attempt. Smith lingered on the turf in noticeable pain and was replaced under center by veteran Sam Howell.

Seattle kicked a field goal three plays after Smith’s departure to cut its deficit to 20-6.

The NBC broadcast later showed Smith going to the locker room for further evaluation. He eventually returned to the sideline and was seen on the bench with a sprain on his right knee.

Smith was 15 of 19 for 149 yards and a costly red-zone interception at the time of the injury.
