The Seahawks on Monday learned that Logan Payne suffered a tear of his medial collateral ligament and is out for the season, and will be placed on injured reserve.

And Seneca Wallace, the team's backup quarterback who was being pressed into service as a wideout, pulled his calf muscle and will miss three weeks to a month.

It leaves the Seahawks without Payne, Wallace, Deion Branch, Nate Burleson, Bobby Engram and Ben Obomanu.

"It's a little bit unusual," Seahawks coach Mike Holmgren understated.

Besides having to sign a quarterback to the practice squad to replace Wallace during the week, Holmgren said the Seahawks also must sign two more wide receivers to augment their already creaking receiving corps, led by second-year vet Courtney Taylor, rookie Michael Bumpus and Billy McMullen, who was signed as a free agent last week.

Holmgren said there are several possibilities, including executing a trade because they have been over the free-agent list on multiple occasions and clearly don't like what is out there. They released Samie Parker four days after signing him last week.

"We have to consider (a trade) because you wind up looking at the same list (of free agents) all the time," Holmgren said.

He insinuated that they could sign or trade for somebody who has previously been in the system, but that list is short: Koren Robinson, whom GM Tim Ruskell chose not to sign last week; Darrell Jackson, playing for the Denver Broncos and who angered Ruskell when he was playing for the Seahawks; Jerheme Urban, who has a minor role in Arizona; and D.J. Hackett, whom the team chose not to re-sign when he became a free agent last offseason.

Robinson would seem to have the best chance of signing with the team, in part because he seems to have cleaned up his life after alcohol and legal problems.

"I don't know about the football side of it at all. I haven't seen him play in a long time," quarterback Matt Hasselbeck said. "But, I guess what I care about more is that he grew up and really matured and got his life turned around in the right direction. I saw him this off-season. He's married, has a child, has another one on the way, so I'm really happy for him. I'm proud of him."
