Report: Seahawks' Earl Thomas (shoulder) will play in Super Bowl
Seattle Seahawks safety Earl Thomaswill play in Super Bowl XLIX despite dislocating his shoulder in the NFC title game on Sunday, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.
Thomas left the game in the second quarter with the injury and went to the locker room to receive treatment. He returned to finish the game after receiving a harness and was slated for an MRI on Monday.
Thomas, who was selected to his fourth Pro Bowl this season, said after the game that he was not concerned about missing the Super Bowl, ESPN's John Clayton reports.
"I know who I am, I'm a warrior, bro," Thomas said. "If I can play I don't care if I can't function really well. I know if I can help the team I'm going to be in there."
