Shead to Undergo Surgery
Monday, Jan. 16
Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported Shead will undergo surgery to repair a torn ACL and will be out up to eight months.
Carroll Comments on Shead's Injury
Monday, Jan. 16
Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll told 710 ESPN Seattle (h/t Stephen Cohen of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer) Shead suffered a "significant" injury and that it will take "a long time" for him to recover. Carroll later said the injury was to his ACL and "some of the other things that sometimes happen" with the nature of the injury.
Shead Was Quality Member of Depleted Seahawks Secondary
The Seahawks had been without star safety Earl Thomas since Week 13 against the Carolina Panthers when he broke his left tibia.
Shead is one of the unheralded members of Seattle's vaunted Legion of Boom, but Sam Monson of Pro Football Focus noted the 27-year-old had the NFL's best run-stopping percentage and allowed just one touchdown reception all season.
Seattle's strength as a team remains on defense, but a thin secondary is something the front office will have to address in the offseason.
