DeShawn Shead's knee crumples in Seahawks' loss
Seattle Seahawks cornerback Deshawn Shead suffered a non-contact left knee injury in Saturday's Divisional Round game against the Atlanta Falcons.
What It Means:
The Seahawks' second-best corner, Shead went down in a heap trying to break up a pass. Speaking after Saturday's playoff loss, head coach Pete Carroll admitted the team feared a torn left ACL for Shead. Completing his first year as a full-time starter, the injury could not have come at a worse time for Shead, who is a restricted free agent. Going on 29, Shead isn't exactly a spring chicken, either. He was reasonably effective this season, but might not even be tendered a contract.
Without Shead or safety Earl Thomas, the Seahawks' defense allowed the Falcons to rack up 21.59 Net Expected Points on 37 passing attempts, per numberFire Live.
