Hawks’ LB Lewis out for season

KIRKLAND, Wash. — The Seattle Seahawks placed reserve outside linebacker D.D. Lewis on injured reserve Tuesday, ending his 2004 season.

Lewis is scheduled to undergo additional surgery on his left shoulder on Thursday. He never fully recovered from offseason surgery on the shoulder and had been out since Aug. 14.

He was being counted on to start for Chad Brown, who is expected to miss the first four games of the regular season with a broken left leg.

The third-year pro from Texas played in 15 games last season, starting five, and recorded a career-high 56 tackles.

Isaiah Kacyvenski and Tracy White are expected to assume Brown’s position until he is able to return.
