Earl Thomas’s worst fear became reality on Sunday and he let the Seattle Seahawks know his displeasure after suffering what could be a season-ending leg injury.

Thomas was playing for Seattle despite a contract dispute over the final year of his contract with the Seahawks. He had held out the entire preseason and even practice this week, though he had been playing in regular season games.

On Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals, though, Thomas hurt his leg during the third quarter on a play where the Cardinals scored a touchdown to tie the game.

Thomas was carted off the field with his leg in an air cast, and after the game Seahawks coach Pete Carrol confirmed that he had fractured his leg. Thomas, though, did not appear to be on good terms with the Seahawks after the injury.

1. So sorry to see this happen

Earl is a very professional player with s great work ethic. We needed more players like him and now we have one less

2. I saw Budda Baker pray with the Seahawks players

The whole Cardinals sideline showed a lot of class to him as he was being carted off. I agree with you.

3. I hope that he heals well and makes a speedy and full recovery. Having said that, I'm not a fan of

the Seahawks.

4. Is it proven he was flipping the bird at fans? Something else? Or at all? More evidence, please.

Poor source...just as much pictorial evidence he was gazing at an injured finger. No anger in his face...

5. The Seahawks bench

Probably because of a contract dispute he held out but came back for the regular season now has a fractured leg.

I doubt he'd be flipping off the fans (He would be flipping off the wrong direction because the fans are toward the sideline) and the fans gave him a standing ovation so why would he be flipping off the fans.

Feel free to draw your own conclusions.

6. Still zero proof he was flipping his own bench...makes no sense. Towards bench - side of stadium.

You make my point...it is all speculation, as was mine.

7. Who was he flipping off?

Feel free to draw your own conclusions. One piece of proof the direction he is facing the finger is toward the Seahawk bench.
