The Seattle Seahawks have activated All-Pro safety Earl Thomas from the PUP list just in time for the beginning if training camp.
Thomas underwent surgery over the offseason to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder.
Here are the details from Fox Sports:
The Seattle Seahawks have activated All-Pro free safety Earl Thomas from the physically unable to perform list, raising hopes he’ll be ready for the regular-season opener.
Seattle announced Thomas had passed his physical and been added to the active roster following practice on Wednesday.
Thomas started training camp on the PUP list after undergoing offseason surgery to repair the labrum in his left shoulder. Thomas was initially hurt in the NFC championship game but played in the Super Bowl with the injury. He underwent surgery shortly after the Super Bowl and was expected to be ready near the start of the season.
It goes without saying that getting Thomas back for training camp is a big deal for the Seahawks. He is the heart and soul of the Legion Of Boom and he is one of the unquestioned leaders in that locker room.
Knowing how Thomas loves to play physical and throw his body around, I wonder if being on the mend all offseason will effect how he plays early.
