The Seattle Seahawks will reportedly not be subject to a severe punishment for failing to disclose CB Richard Sherman’s MCL injury in 2016.

The Seattle Seahawks will not face major punishment from the NFL for their failure to disclose Sherman’s major MCL injury in 2016, according to NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport. This is a bit of an interesting topic because it is generally wrong to not disclose an injury like this, just so they could keep him on the field. This type of stuff has happened in the NFL for a long time and isn’t surprising given had Sherman been out for a period of time, it would’ve hurt the Seahawks.

However, this type of activity is what’s wrong with the NFL today. Why the NFL isn’t bringing the hammer down on Seattle is a bit quizzical. For a league that wants to improve players’ health for life after football, this certainly is not showing it. In a league where players routinely take painkillers and fight through injuries, the NFL has do more to help its players.
