Thomas’ leg hit Chancellor’s, resulting in the broken bone. NBC’s Michele Tafoya says Pete Carroll told her X-rays showed a cracked tibia.
The safety then started tweeting about retirement:
This game has been so good to me no regrets.. A lot is running through my mind including retirement thanks for all the prayers.
