Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman played Super Bowl XLIX with torn ligaments in his left elbow that may require Tommy John surgery in the off season, according to a source.

In the NFC Championship game, Sherman suffered ligament damage in his left shoulder. He didn't miss a play from practice and played the entire Super Bowl with the injury. During the game, he was making tackles and plays using his left arm.

The source indicated that the injury was worse than just an elbow sprain. Although the source didn't indicate the prognosis and timetable, it is likely he will go Tommy John surgery after the season.

Tommy John surgery is a procedure in which the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) undergoes reconstruction using a tendon from elsewhere in the body.

They can use the one under his tongue . . . that's a strong one.

And finished with a tear in his eye.

I'm wondering if he does indeed need TJ surgery will he miss any time? I know pitchers miss 1-2 years, but what's the timetable like for a football player?

That's a tough sob.

TJ surgery isn't fun recovery
