RENTON Undeniably, the Seahawks are facing a transition.
How upside-down could it seem, compared to the previous five years of playoffs and Super Bowls? The man with a torn Achilles about to have a second surgery is the star perhaps most likely to return to Seattle’s aging, issue-filled defensive secondary in 2018.
Three-time All-Pro cornerback Richard Sherman will have a second surgery beyond the one that repaired torn right Achilles tendon, coach Pete Carroll said Tuesday. This operation will be to clean out bone spurts “and things like that” in his other, left leg, and it should slow Sherman’s return in time for next season, the coach said.
