Red Bryant played with torn plantar fascia
Red Bryant - DL - Seattle Seahawks
Feb. 14, 2013 - 6:20 PM ET

Seahawks LE Red Bryant played with a torn plantar fascia in his foot for the second half of the 2012 season.

That likely explains Bryant's down season versus the run. After grading out as a top-12 run defending end in 2011 at Pro Football Focus, he dropped all the way to No. 49 in 2012. Seattle still boasted the tenth-ranked run defense in the league, so look for them to only get better this upcoming season. Bryant, 29 in April, is entering the second year of a five-year, $35 million contract.
