Here are some of the defensive ends the Seahawks looked at on Tuesday, in case Patrick Kerney is done for the season. None of them certainly are as well known as Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila.
Patrick Chukwurah
Sean Conover
Angelo Craig
Kevin Huntley
Al Wallace
Kerney had surgery earlier today but there is no word yet on what they determined.

I spoke with Gbaja-Biamila's agent this afternoon, who said he has heard the Seahawks are bringing in three defensive ends this afternoon, but KGB is not one of them. He was released by the Green Bay Packers last week after recording a half sack so far this season.
Tim Ruskell's staff apparently set up these tryouts over the weekend, perhaps knowing the news on Kerney was not going to be good. KGB's agent said he didn't know who the three players are they are bringing in.
The formatting on the Web got screwed up on Frank’s midseason grade report, so I cleaned it up and posted it here.
RENTON – Seattle Seahawks coach Mike Holmgren on Monday afternoon was asked if there were any positives he could pull from the first half of this NFL season that has seen the Seahawks, decimated by injuries, fall to 2-6 and most likely out of the race for a playoff berth for the first time in six years.
Some links to chew on this morning.
Seattle Seahawks
Quarterback Matt Hasselback and defensive end Patrick Kerney are likely out this week, although Hasselback may practice in a limited capacity this week, reports Frank Hughes. Kerney is having exploratory surgery on his re-injured shoulder and might be out for the year.
Dave Boling says the prudent thing to do is to let Hasselbeck heal up for the rest of the season and not get injured further in some meaningless games at the end of the year.
