General manager John Schneider said Monday he hopes to have Young (groin) return from IR "down the road" this season, Gregg Bell of the News Tribune reports.
Young underwent a groin procedure a week and a half ago, but it sounds like he may not be able to return from IR at his first eligible date. The second-year pro will need to miss a minimum of four games, and with the Seahawks having a Week 5 bye, his earliest possible return date would be Week 6. Jake Bobo and Cody Thompson (shoulder) should handle expanded depth roles to open the season.
