K.J. Wright, a linebacker with the Seattle Seahawks, broke a bone in his foot and will be out for several weeks.

Seahawks coach Pete Carroll made a statement about the injury after the game Sunday, the Seattle Times reported.

Wright will be out for at least six weeks.

He suffered a non-contact foot injury, preliminary reports say.

Seattle center Max Unger was also injured with a pectoral muscle strain. It is unclear how long he'll be out.

According to a report from Fox reporter Pam Oliver, Wright threw his helmet in the second quarter against the San Francisco 49ers.

Video footage showed Wright livid on the sideline.

Chris Daniels, a KING-TV reporter, said that Oliver’s report “was ominous,” according to his Twitter account.
