KIRKLAND -- Tight end Marcus Pollard is expected to undergo arthroscopic surgery on his right knee, coach Mike Holmgren said today.
Pollard did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday the previous two weeks and he was not active for Sunday's game against St. Louis.
Holmgren said recovery from the surgery is relatively short, and he could be available as soon as the game against San Francisco on Monday Nov. 12. Under that scenario, Pollard would miss only one game.
Pollard is 35. He was signed this offseason and caught 12 passes in Seattle's first six games.
Defensive end Darryl Tapp suffered a broken bone in his hand, and he may choose to have surgery to fix that, but it's not expected he would miss any games even if he did undergo surgery.
The Seahawks do not play again until Nov. 4. Holmgren gave players the bye week off. They will be responsible for conditioning exercises on their own. The coach will be headed to Arizona. The players will return to work next Monday.
