Carroll confirms Sherman out for year with ruptured Achilles

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll confirmed cornerback Richard Sherman ruptured his Achilles during Thursday's win against the Arizona Cardinals and will miss the remainder of the season, per Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times.

Sherman left the game during the third quarter and limped off the field. The broadcast appeared to show him telling teammates that he'd torn his Achilles.

Team doctors confirmed Sherman will need season-ending surgery to repair the tendon.

"He couldn't even walk. Remarkable competitor," Carroll said of Sherman postgame, via Gregg Bell of The News Tribune.

The veteran cornerback told reporters he'd expected to tear his Achilles at some point this year after battling through an injury to the tendon throughout much of the season.

"When it goes, it goes," Sherman said via Will Brinson of CBS Sports.

Sherman had never missed a game in his seven-year career and it's a devastating loss for the Seahawks' secondary. Jeremy Lane and Justin Coleman will likely vie for increased snaps.
