The Seattle Seahawks announced Tuesday that they’ve officially placed S Earl Thomas on season-ending injured reserve.
The Seahawks have brought back S Jeron Johnson to replace Thomas, who suffered a fractured bone in his leg during Sunday’s win over the Panthers.
Thomas mentioned via his Twitter account Sunday night that he’s considering retirement after he suffered a lower leg injury and was carted to the locker room.
This game has been so good to me no regrets.. A lot is running through my mind including retirement thanks for all the prayers.
