SEATTLE - Seahawks All-Pro safety Earl Thomas is expected to be out 6 to 8 months after having surgery on Tuesday to repair a torn labrum and separation in his left shoulder, according to multiple reports, including Ed Werder of ESPN.
Thomas suffered the injury in the NFC Championship Game victory over the Packers. He re-entered that game wearing a harness, and played two weeks later in Seattle's 28-24 loss to New England in the Super Bowl.
It was believed after season's end that Thomas would be ready for training camp, though the new timeline for his rehab will probably put that projection in doubt, and should the longer end of the estimate pan out, perhaps the start of the regular season.
Thomas recorded 97 tackles, three forced fumbles, and an interception last season, his third straight listed as an All-Pro, in the league's best-ranked defense.
