Seahawks' Mike Wahle placed on injured reserve

RENTON — The Seahawks placed starting left guard Mike Wahle on injured reserve Friday because of shoulder injury, ending the 11-year veteran's season.

Wahle is the third offensive line starter to be shut down for the season. Center Chris Spencer went on injured reserve Wednesday and right guard Rob Sims was designated after Week One.

Seattle signed center-guard Steve McKinney to fill the roster spot vacated by Wahle. McKinney has played 10 seasons in the NFL, four with Indianapolis followed by six with the Houston Texans. He was in the Miami Dolphins' training camp this past summer.

A former fourth-round draft choice by the Colts (1998), McKinney has started 133 of the 143 games he has played.

Wahle, signed in free agency this past offseason, started all 10 games this season before suffering a shoulder injury against Arizona on Nov. 16.
