## Seahawks QB Geno Smith Exits Game vs. Packers with Knee Injury
**Green Bay, Wisc.** – Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith left Sunday’s game against the Green Bay Packers with a knee injury in the second quarter.
Smith was injured on a sack by Packers linebacker Rashan Gary with 9:09 remaining in the first half. He was immediately attended to by trainers and eventually helped off the field. Drew Lock replaced Smith at quarterback for the Seahawks.
### Injury Details
The extent of Smith’s injury is not yet known, but the Seahawks fear it could be significant. Smith had an MRI on Sunday night, and the results are expected to be released on Monday.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Smith is believed to have suffered a hyperextended knee. However, other sources have reported that he may have also torn his ACL.
### Impact on the Seahawks
Smith’s injury is a major blow to the Seahawks, who are 2-2 on the season. Smith has been a revelation for Seattle this year, leading the team to a surprising start.
In four games, Smith has completed 77.3% of his passes for 964 yards, seven touchdowns, and two interceptions. He has also rushed for 93 yards and two touchdowns.
With Smith out, the Seahawks will turn to Lock, who was acquired in a trade with the Denver Broncos in the offseason. Lock has started 24 games in his NFL career, but he has yet to prove himself as a consistent performer.
### Packers Take Advantage
The Packers took advantage of Smith’s injury to take a 14-0 lead at halftime. Aaron Rodgers threw a 15-yard touchdown pass to Allen Lazard and a 2-yard touchdown pass to Christian Watson.
The Seahawks struggled offensively with Lock at quarterback, managing just 62 yards of total offense in the first half.
### Second Half
In the second half, the Packers continued to dominate, extending their lead to 28-0. Rodgers threw a 10-yard touchdown pass to Romeo Doubs, and Mason Crosby added a 43-yard field goal.
The Seahawks finally got on the board with a 1-yard touchdown run by Travis Homer in the fourth quarter. However, the Packers responded with a 48-yard field goal by Crosby to make it 31-7.
### Conclusion
The Seahawks lost to the Packers 31-7, dropping their record to 2-3 on the season. Smith’s injury is a major concern, and the Seahawks will need to find a way to replace his production if they want to stay in contention in the NFC West.
The Packers, meanwhile, improved to 3-1 with the victory. Rodgers was efficient in the passing game, completing 25 of 39 passes for 258 yards and three touchdowns.
The Seahawks will host the New Orleans Saints in Week 5, while the Packers will travel to London to face the New York Giants.
