Johnathan Hankins is out for the season for the Seahawks

(SEATTLE)- Seattle Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald gave an update on veteran defensive tackle Johnathan Hankins, according to seahawks.com.

Hankins, who opened the season on the non-football injury list due to a back injury, will not play this season.

"Hank won't be back this year," Macdonald said.

Asked if the back injury is potentially career-threatening, Macdonald said, "I hope not. The back is tricky. If it's not working, it's not a fun situation to be in, so I wish him the best."
