Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Deion Branch’s rehab from knee surgery is going well.

However, Branch is not expected to be healthy in time for the regular season opener, meaning he will likely miss the first few games of the year.

ACL surgery typically takes an entire year to recover from, and Branch underwent his surgery in January, making it possible he could miss the entire 2008 season.

The Seahawks are very thin at wide receiver, so they are hoping Branch can come back and contribute at some point.
