For the second time this week, a player has suffered a torn Achilles in OTAs, and could be lost for the season.

This time, it was Seahawks tight end Anthony McCoy, according to Mike Garafolo of USA Today. McCoy underwent surgery Thursday to repair the damage, and is expected to miss at least six months.

The AP photo of McCoy being attended to by trainers which is shown here was taken Monday.

Earlier this week, 49ers wide receiver Michael Crabtree suffered the same injury during a workout at the team facility.

McCoy started seven games last year (seeing most of his work in two-tight end sets along with Zach Miller), catching 18 passes.

The injury will push rookie Luke Wilson, a fifth-round pick from Rice, into a bigger role.
