Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman has already declared he’d “100 percent be able to play” in the Super Bowl.
But they’re going to run him by an actual doctor anyway, since he’s obviously not 100 percent.
According to John Clayton of ESPN, both Sherman (elbow) and safety Earl Thomas (shoulder) are heading for MRIs today, to determine the severity of injuries suffered in yesterday’s comeback win over the Packers.
Of course, they’re both feeling all Kellen Winslow Jr. at the moment.
“We got tape for the warriors,” Sherman said. “I guarantee you in our next game, we will all be out there.”
“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.”
Sherman’s elbow was injured when it was pinned between Packers running back James Starks and teammate Kam Chancellor.
Thomas left in the first half, but finished the game wearing a shoulder harness.
