How long Harvin will miss remains to be seen. A timetable should be released soon but needless to say the injury is bad news for Seattle who was counting on Harvin to be a target of second year quarterback Russell Wilson.
The Seahawks gave up three draft picks to acquire Harvin from Minnesota and his bonus and salary are worth $14.5 million.
