The most decorated members of the Seattle Seahawks’ Legion of Boom secondary were more injured than they let on leading up to Super Bowl XLIX.

All-Pro cornerback Richard Sherman might need Tommy John surgery to repair ligament damage sustained in the NFC Championship Game. All-Pro free safety Earl Thomas is also a candidate for surgery after dislocating his shoulder in the same game.

It’s three-time Pro Bowl strong safety Kam Chancellor, though, whose status was most in question leading up to the matchup with the Patriots.

As it turns out, Chancellor was battling through more than a deep bone bruise in his knee.

The examination for that injury, which occurred in last Friday’s practice, revealed a tear in his MCL, likely from a previous injury.
