Mathews suffered a sprained MCL in Sunday’s sweltering game against the Seattle Seahawks. According to the NFL Network, he underwent an MRI on Monday. Still, he hopes to return sooner than a month, the source said.
Mathews was carted off the field in the fourth quarter of the game with the knee injury.
Sunday’s home opener upset the defending Super Bowl champions with a win over the Hawks, 30 to 21.
The deficit, however, could have been larger. The NFL now admits it should have reversed a touchdown made by Seattle Seahawks receiver Percy Harvin.
The last time a team has beat the Seahawks by more than 7 points was Nov. 6, 2011, when the Dallas Cowboys beat the team by 10 points.
