The acrimonious season of Count Thomas with the Seattle Seahawks could have reached a head in its apparent end.

Security three times was eliminated in Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals. Seahawks coach Pete Carroll later turned out to be a broken leg. On leaving, Thomas was shown to the camera by giving a major to the sideline of the Seahawks.

Thomas suffered the fourth quarter injury on Cardinals quarterback Josh Rosen's touchdown pass to receiver Chad Williams. A throw of air was placed on his left leg and players from both teams

"I love Earl. I've always loved it, "Carroll said after the game," I liked everything he did for us. "

Entering the final year of his contract, Thomas led an off-season offense before deciding to show up for the regular season after the team refused to compel his request for an exchange or an extension.

He missed a practice session last week and two more before last week's win over the Dallas Cowboys, saying he would refuse to participate if he did not feel up to it. .

"I have to make sure that my body is 100% and that I invested in. If they were invested in me, I would be practicing," Thomas said. "But if I feel as if I had something, even if it was something small, if I was suffering from headaches, I was not practicing, but I do not want it to be bad. taken – I know I will be fined. "

Carroll said Sunday that he did not know Thomas's gesture, but he said that he believed the player and the organization had "just reversed the situation" with regards to the dispute.
