Seahawks’ Sherman to have Tommy John surgery

Published

on

Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll confirmed Monday that cornerback Richard Sherman’s left elbow will require Tommy John surgery and cornerback Jeremy Lane has a “significant” broken arm.

ESPN’s John Clayton reported early Monday morning after the Super Bowl that Sherman could be headed for Tommy John surgery on his elbow.

Sherman tore ligaments in the elbow during the Seahawks’ win over the Green Bay Packers in the NFC Championship Game. He finished that game in pain, seemingly playing with his left arm unavailable, then made it all the way through the Super Bowl on Sunday.

Sherman, 26, recorded four interceptions and eight passes defensed during the regular season, with opposing teams rarely targeting the receiver he covered. He added an interception in each of the Seahawks’ two playoff wins, against the Carolina Panthers and the Packers.

In Seattle’s 28-24 Super Bowl loss to the New England Patriots on Sunday night, Sherman was credited with three tackles and was thrown at just once, for a 6-yard gain.

Seahawks nickelback Lane came up with the biggest play of the first quarter when he intercepted Tom Brady’s pass in the end zone. The Patriots had a third-and-6 at the Seattle 10 when Brady threw over the middle, trying to connect with wide receiver Julian Edelman at the back if the end zone.

After breaking one tackle on the interception return, the middle of Lane’s left forearm appeared to bend abruptly when he was tackled. His arm was wrapped and Lane was taken to the locker room.

The Seahawks also said safeties Earl Thomas and Kam Chancellor may need to have surgery this offseason.

Thomas reportedly has a torn labrum, suffered in the NFC title game.

Chancellor had been playing through ankle and hip problems all season and suffered a knee injury in practice before the Super Bowl.
