The Facts:
Carlson will miss this season because of a torn labrum, which will require surgery. Reported by the Seattle Times

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Carlson's injury comes after the Seahawks signed Zach Miller as an unrestricted free agent. Carlson is in the final year of his rookie contract, and the Seahawks had hoped to pair him with Miller often this season. "It's disappointing because John has had a great start to camp," HC Pete Carroll. "He was rocking and rolling, and those two guys out there together looked really good. Fortunately, our tight ends have really played well. ..." Second-year tight end Anthony McCoy and Dominique Byrd -- a former third-round pick who played for Carroll at USC -- have been so productive that there was some thought the Seahawks might keep four tight ends on the 53-man roster as they did a year ago. Cameron Morrah, who played well last season, is on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list, and is not expected to be activated before the season begins.
