RENTON, Wash. -- Matt Hasselbeck (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=1575) knows of one proven, healthy Seahawks wide receiver still standing.
"Steve Largent," Seattle's quarterback deadpanned Monday, referring to the team's first Hall of Fame player, after hearing the surprising news wide receiver Nate Burleson (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=4529) is out for the season with a knee injury.

<!-- INLINE HEADSHOT (END) -->An MRI Monday showed Burleson tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee while trying to cut outside on a pass pattern on a rain-slicked, synthetic field in Buffalo on Sunday during Seattle's 34-10 loss in its season opener. The non-contact injury occurred midway through the third quarter when he appeared to trip over his own feet -- or the 20-yard line.
The poor SOB's. We know what its like to just keep seeing guys go down, and it sucks.
