Lofa Tatupu

Former Seattle Seahawks linebacker Lofa Tatupu sat out the entire season due to a knee injury, according to Jeff Fendotin of the National Football Post. “It was just injury-related,” said Fendotin’s source. “He wasn’t 100 percent and didn’t feel he was ready to go.” Tatupu plans on making a comeback in 2012 after rehabbing his knee and spending some quality time with is family.

I am hearing increased rumblings that Lofa Tatupu will be returning to the Seattle Seahawks before the pre-season season ends.

Free agent linebacker Lofa Tatupu might be a nice addition for the Philadelphia Eagles with all of their issues at the linebacker position.  Tatupu’s knees are finally healthy enough to step in and help out a winning team.  The only problem is that the Eagles aren’t winning right now.  It was clear when Tatupu was intially cut by the Seattle Seahawks,  that he wanted to play for the Eagles.  But they wanted to first see how well their young group of linebackers would play first.  Now it’s...Read Full Story
