Seattle cornerback Richard Sherman injured his left elbow in the NFC championship game against the Green Bay Packers while attempting to make a tackle. Sherman sustained the injury on the first play of the fourth quarter. After a brief evaluation, Sherman stayed in the game, playing with his elbow injury by keeping his left arm pinned against his chest for the remainder of the game.


According to NFL Network reporter Albert Breer, the results of Sherman’s MRI concluded that the injury was a sprain. Sherman suffered from a bad hyperextension of the arm. ESPN’s interview clip with Sherman states, “I don’t miss practice,” he said, “So I’ll be out there.” Sherman said he might practice with a brace but hopes to have no limitations by the Super Bowl. Sherman is confident that he will be playing in this year’s Super Bowl.
