Seahawks Earl Thomas Q&A: What happens now? Did Seattle blow it?

The Earl Thomas saga raised some questions about what happened with Thomas and the Seahawks and what happens now. So here’s an attempt to answer all of the most relevant Thomas-related questions following his injury Sunday.

SO WHAT HAPPENS NOW WITH THOMAS?

Thomas, who suffered a broken left tibia in the fourth quarter of a 20-17 win at Arizona, was officially placed on Injured Reserve on Tuesday.

That means he has to be out at least eight games — teams can recall two players per year off of IR if they are placed on the list after the formation of the initial 53-man roster.
