Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman played through a "significant" MCL injury in the second half of the season, head coach Pete Carroll revealed Monday.
Carroll said the injury "weighed on" Sherman mentally, but he might have been trying to explain away a season that was solid, but not quite up to Sherman's recent standards. Sherman's knee never showed up on the injury report, so the boundary-pushing Seahawks could be hearing from the league. Two months shy of his 29th birthday, Sherman has played through a number of injuries in recent years, but never missed a game.
The Seahawks' secondary ranked just 15th this season in opponent-adjusted Defensive Passing Net Expected Points per play.
