02/06/2015 NFL Note - Seattle Seahawks Thomas, Earl

S Earl Thomas played through a separated shoulder and torn labrum during the Super Bowl and reportedly will soon have surgery to repair the shoulder.

The four-time Pro Bowl pick is expected to be ready in time for the start of the 2015 season, Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Thursday. NFL.com also reported the pending surgery, saying Thomas would be out 6-8 months.

Thomas suffered the injuries during the NFC Championship Game against the Green Bay Packers but returned to the field and two weeks later played in the Super Bowl XLIX loss to the New England Patriots.

NFL Note - * Free Agents Oher, Michael

T Michael Oher had his contract terminated by the Titans Thursday (Feb. 5) with the designation failed physical.
 


Oher, otherwise famous as the inspiration for the book (and movie) "The Blind Side," signed a four-year, $20 million contract with the Titans last offseason and struggled before being placed on injured reserve in December with a toe injury.

He had joined the Titans after leaving the Baltimore Ravens, where he had given up 22.5 sacks the previous two seasons. Before going on IR last season, he gave up six sacks in 11 games.

Oher, 28, will count $3 million against the salary cap in 2015, but the Titans will save $2 million by releasing him.
