Doctors evaluate Seattle WR Harvin

Thu., Jan. 16, 2014

NFL: Seattle Seahawks receiver Percy Harvin, who suffered a concussion in Saturday’s game against New Orleans, met with doctors for a concussion evaluation Wednesday afternoon.

He didn’t practice, and his status for Sunday’s game against San Francisco is unknown.

Harvin will have to be cleared by a team doctor and an unaffiliated concussion expert physician in order to return.

Linebacker K.J. Wright practiced with the Seahawks. Wright hasn’t played since Seattle’s last game against San Francisco on Dec. 8.
