Richard Sherman: 'We really don’t have reason to trust the NFL'
SEATTLE – Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman released a video Thursday saying he’s become involved in the players’ union because he doesn’t trust the league.“We really don’t have reason to trust the NFL, and I don’t think they mind either way,” Sherman said in the video posted on the Players Tribune. “At the end of the day, they’re going to do what they can to make their money, and to make as much money as they can for the owners.”Sherman said that though the league has put policies in place, incidents like Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton staying in the game after several helmet-to-helmet hits in the league’s season opener demonstrate that player safety isn’t of foremost importance to the NFL.“If you take the reigning MVP out of the game in the last couple minutes with the game on the line, he’d be frustrated, the fans would be frustrated,” Sherman said. “But it would be in line with what you wanted to see in terms of player safety, but you didn’t because it would affect the ratings because it would affect the game.”

Russell Wilson appears to be OK: 'He's lucky, and he knows it'
SEATTLE - It was one of the scariest scenes imaginable if you're a Seattle Seahawks fan.Russell Wilson was on the field, clearly in a great deal of pain even as he was rehabbing from a sprained ankle earlier in the season.Wilson left the game in the third quarter with the Seattle Seahawks well ahead on their way to a 37-18 victory over the San Francisco 49ers, but the team said he'll likely be fine after suffering a left-knee sprain."I don't think it's as severe as it looked," Wilson said after the game. "Walking fine and all that, moving well, got good mobility."Wilson said he left the game in part because the Seahawks were so far ahead at the time, describing it as "the smart thing to do" in the big picture."I felt fine," he said. "I felt strong enough that I can play on it, and I can tolerate pain pretty well."Coach Pete Carroll said it was a "messy play" that could've turned out much worse for his quarterback."He’s in good spirits, just like you would think," coach Pete Carroll said after the game. "He has no intention of thinking anything other than he’s playing (next week).
