Okung out with high ankle sprain

Football Betting Lines

08/24/2010 - Renton, WA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Seattle Seahawks offensive lineman Russell Okung, the sixth overall pick in this year's draft, has a high sprain in his right ankle.

Seattle head coach Pete Carroll called the sprain "moderate" and said that the starting left tackle will be sidelined indefinitely. Carroll did not say whether Okung will be ready for the season opener against San Francisco on September 12.

"It's day to day, I hate to even think week to week," Carroll said after practice. It is a high ankle sprain, so we'll see how that works out. It's not the worst one we've ever seen."

Okung was injured during Seattle's first series against Tennessee in preseason action on Saturday.

With several other linemen recuperating from injuries, Mansfield Wrotto will start at left tackle in Saturday's preseason game against Minnesota.

MySportsbook.com Posts Heisman Trophy Odds

With 3,919 passing yards, 32 touchdowns and a mere seven interceptions last season, combined with a powerful South Bend Heisman legacy, odds makers at MySportsbook.com have given Notre Dame senior quarterback Brady Quinn the best Heisman Trophy odds at 5-2.

Quinn isn’t the only big man on campus this season.  Oklahoma junior running back and 2004 Heisman runner-up Adrian Peterson, listed at 7-2, rushed for a combined 3,033 yards in his first two years as a college player and will give Quinn a run for his money. 

This online sportsbook has also listed Troy Smith, Ohio State senior quarterback, as another strong favorite to win the 72nd Heisman Trophy.  A 7-1 bet, Smith threw for 2,282 yards last season and also led the Buckeyes to a convincing 34-20 victory over Quinn and the Fighting Irish in last season’s Fiesta Bowl.

Brady Quinn (QB, Notre Dame)
