 Sherman (elbow) and Thomas (shoulder) suffered injuries in last
Sunday’s NFC Championship win over Green Bay but both appear ready
to help Seattle pursue a second straight title.
Hard-hitting safety Thomas took the practice field on Friday for the
first time this week.
“He’s a great communicator and he sends such a message (to our
defense) about the concerns of doing all the right things,” Seahawks
coach Pete Carroll said in a news conference on Friday.
“All the continuity these guys have shared for so long is not felt
when he’s not out there.”
 Sherman was unable to use his left elbow in the final stages of the
NFC title game, and may need to wear a brace against the Patriots,
but Carroll said he looked fit to play.

“(Richard) took every play this week and looked fine,” Carroll said.
“He did everything.”
