Each week NFL teams are required to release their injury report. Last week, the Seattle Seahawks released theirs but left a key name off of their report going into their divisional round matchup with the Atlanta Falcons. The injury report lists players as “full participation”, “limited participation”, or “did not participate”.
According to Chris Mortensen, the Seahawks did not include a Richard Sherman injury.

Richard Sherman’s name is nowhere to be found on the report. After the NFL fully investigates this situation, the Seattle Seahawks are likely to lose a high draft pick, as early as the second round.
