The early word is in on Earl Thomas’ injury, and it’s not good.
The Seattle Seahawks safety reportedly suffered a broken bone in his leg after a collision with one of his teammates Sunday night, and he is out indefinitely.

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.

But then he showed a bit of humor:
Kam you owe me a steak . Haha
