RENTON, Wash. - The Seattle Seahawks will be without tight end Zach Miller for at least a few weeks after he underwent ankle surgery during the teams bye week.Seattle coach Pete Carroll said Monday that Miller had been bothered by loose bodies in the ankle for weeks and instead of trying to play through pain that was likely to get worse, Miller took advantage of the early bye week and had the surgery now.There is no set timetable for when Miller will return. Carroll said they would give him a couple of weeks and then take it on a week-by-week basis. That means Miller would miss the next two games at Washington and versus Dallas before his status is reassessed.Its been bothering him for a number of weeks. Hes been playing with it and we just dont want him to have to tolerate it any longer. We wanted to see if we can fix him up and hopefully hell have a speedy recovery. It was just a cleanup kind of thing but he had some loose bodies in his ankle and it was very, very uncomfortable.Millers surgery was first reported by Fox Sports. He was listed on the injury report with an ankle injury before the Seahawks 26-20 overtime win over Denver in Week 3. Miller was in on 71 of 79 snaps against the Broncos.Seattle has leaned on having three or more wide receivers on the field this season with the return of Percy Harvin. Through three weeks, the Seahawks have attempted just 17 passes (19 per cent) with two tight ends on the field versus nearly 81 per cent of their pass attempts coming with three or four wide receivers, according to STATS Inc.Miller has six receptions in three games, while backup Luke Willson has just one catch.Where Seattle will take a blow is in losing Millers skill as a blocker. Hes regularly been asked to block a defensive end or help tackles to control the defensive pass rush. That responsibility now falls to Willson to start.Luke has done a really good job. Hes obviously going to play a ton now, Carroll said. Its really a great opportunity for him to step up. Hes improved in every area. Hes one of those young guys thats gotten a ton better since hes been with us. Hes stronger, hes faster than a year ago because of the off-season. In every way hes improved. This is a lot to ask of him, the first time hell have this kind of duty, but its his turn to step up.But Carroll believes Seattle has in-house options to handle Millers various roles. Willson and Cooper Helfet will get the first cracks, but the Seahawks could turn to using an extra offensive lineman a€” like backup tackle Alvin Bailey a€” in running situations. Seattle also has former college tight end and now rookie offensive tackle Garry Gilliam on its roster. Gilliam had seven catches for 65 yards during the 2012 season at Penn State before moving to tackle for 2013.Weve had a lot of guys in here. We worked out a lot of people. We would like to stay with our people and banking on the communication and the system working for us. Were going to get it fixed right here, Carroll said.___Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP_NFL Josh Oliver Jersey .
