Seahawks' Kenny Lawler: Hyper-extends knee in minicamp

Lawler sat out of Tuesday's minicamp after hyper-extending his knee, Curtis Crabtree of the Associated Press reports.

Lawler, a seventh-round pick in April's draft, is vying for a spot on the bottom of Seattle's depth chart. Once considered a potential secon-round pick, Lawler's stock fell in pre-draft workouts as he exhibited a below-average skill set. The injury shouldn't cause any long-term absence, but is something to keep note of as training camp nears.
