RENTON, Wash. (AP) -- The left side of the Seahawks' offensive line is crumbling now that guard Ben Hamilton has joined tackle Russell Okung in getting hurt.

Hamilton was out of pads and watched Wednesday's practice with an ice pack on his knee.

Coach Pete Carroll had said Tuesday that the former Broncos starter signed in the offseason to tutor Okung in Seattle's new zone-blocking schemes would not start Saturday's exhibition game at Minnesota.

Recent Eagles practice squad player Mike Gibson will be the left guard as he was Wednesday.

Okung was lost perhaps into the regular season with a high right ankle sprain sustained last weekend against Green Bay.
