Deion Branch is expected to miss two games after suffering a mid-foot sprain in Sunday's loss to Pittsburgh.
Seattle expects Branch back after its Week 8 bye, along with fellow Week 1 starter D.J. Hackett (ankle). The loss of Branch is terrible news for Matt Hasselbeck, who looked lost without him for most of the game against the Steelers. Ben Obomanu, Courtney Taylor, Nate Burleson, and Bobby Engram will try to pick up the slack. Engram and Burleson stand to benefit most in fantasy leagues.
