Seahawks Lose Gavin Heslop, Bryan Mone to Injury in Win vs. Texans

For the first time this season, the Seahawks have a multi-game winning streak after putting away the Texans 33-13 at NRG Stadium on Sunday. But the victory came at a cost with reserve cornerback Gavin Heslop leaving late in the fourth quarter with a severe leg injury.

Heslop, who Seattle promoted to the 53-man roster from the practice squad on Friday, checked into the game at safety in the closing moments as a replacement for starter Quandre Diggs. With less than two minutes to play, Houston rookie quarterback Davis Mills completed a pass to receiver Nico Collins and the former Stony Brook standout came in to help make the tackle.

Unfortunately, as Collins came down the ground, Heslop's left ankle got pinned underneath the receiver's body and he appeared to suffer a possible tibia or fibula fracture. Writhing in pain on the field, trainers placed an air cast on the injured leg and he was promptly carted off the field.

Speaking with reporters following the game, coach Pete Carroll indicated Heslop was expected to remain in Houston over night and that there was a "good chance" he would need to undergo immediate surgery.

“I haven't seen it yet, but I was told all about it," Carroll said. "But he was really hurting. Our hearts and love go out to him. He's going to stay in town tonight. And that's as far as we know right now.”
