RENTON, Wash. (AP) — Defensive end Cliff Avril is expected to be placed on injured reserve by the Seattle Seahawks as he continues to deal with a neck injury. Avril was injured three weeks ago in a game against the Indianapolis Colts.

KPUG Edit: On Wednesday Seahawks coach Pete Carroll told satellite radio that Avril will be placed on injured reserve. He would be eligible to return from IR after eight weeks and able to return to practice after six weeks.

The 10th-year pro made the Pro Bowl last year. He has played in four games this season for Seattle, registering 1 sack.
