“It’s crazy how things worked out for me,” cornerback says after almost becoming a Houston Texan and now getting a chance to start with Richard Sherman out for the season.
When Jeremy Lane walked somewhat apprehensively into the Seahawks locker room on Nov. 1, he was surprised and gratified to receive a spontaneous ovation from the assembled players. He also got some good-natured grief, which was actually a welcome sign of normalcy.
The previous week had been the whirlwind of all whirlwinds for Lane – seemingly told he was benched as Seattle’s starting right cornerback one day, traded to Houston in the Duane Brown deal a few days after that, only to fail the Texans’ physical and have to re-join the team that had traded him 24 hours later.
