The Seahawks exited the Super Bowl with a variety of injuries to members of their secondary and one of those injuries will go in for a surgical repair on Tuesday.

Safety Earl Thomas and the torn labrum in his shoulder have drawn the short straw this time. Thomas injured his labrum during the NFC Championship game victory over the Packers. His shoulder also dislocated on the play, but he returned to the game wearing a harness to protect the injury and played in the Super Bowl as well.

After the Super Bowl, reports were that Thomas would be ready for training camp but Ed Werder of ESPN reports that the rehab timeline is set at six to eight months. Even at the short end of that range, training camp would be in doubt and the longer end of things opens up the possibility that Thomas would miss some of the regular season.

There’s way too much time and rehab between now and then to have a serious idea about how things will play out for Thomas, but it will certainly be a concern for the Seahawks if September rolls around and he isn’t ready to dive back into action.
