Good Seahawks sign: Earl Thomas running on a treadmill 3 months after breaking tibia

Earl Thomas has offered a video as the most positive sign yet he’ll be back for the start of the Seahawks’ 2017 season.

The three-time All-Pro free safety posted this on his Instagram account, three months plus three days after he broke his tibia trying to intercept a pass against Carolina:

First day back running.

Thomas being back running Monday for the first time since his injury backs up Pete Carroll’s optimism when the coach spoke last week at the NFL combine about the possibility of his invaluable defender returning in time for the start of next season.
