hes fine. the sit down lacy hit actually fixed his shoulder
See this link 50yrpatsfan ? That's Earl Thomas. Playing injured. That guy he almost takes out to get to Lacy ? That's KJ Wright, a 6'4" 250 lb LBer that was almost collateral damage.
Thomas has the best range of any FS in the NFL. He doesn't use his shoulder for that.
He hit Lacy that hard, yet he was the first one to get up and start jumping around. This is blind hope by you that Thomas and Sherman can't go. Both played and played at a high level immediately after being injured during the game. Sherman is so damned good that Rodgers didn't try him even though he was obviously hurt. You know, Aaron Rodgers, the QB that has three times the arm strength of your BFF Tom Brady.
You're obviously a raging Pats homer, but even if Thomas does have a torn labrum (and it's likely), there's tons of variance in the degree of tear. To give you an example, the reason we got Michael Bennett (our stud DE/DT) for so cheap was that he had a torn labrum. He decided to play through the injury his first year, then it healed up with no need for surgery.
These are the type of warriors we have on our team. You Pats fans keep whining about how you're not Denver and things will be different. Problem is, it's all the same narrative. Imagine a slightly worse Baltimore Ravens DL with much better LBers. Then add to that a secondary that's 10 times as fast, 10 times as ferocious, and infinitely more skilled and cerebral than that Ravens secondary. Your team didn't even attempt to run at the Ravens.
This is what's coming for you. Link all you want. Wish all you want. Your team is about to be curb stomped.
