Seahawks' Thomas breaks leg, mulls retirement

SEATTLE -- Seahawks safety Earl Thomas left Sunday night's game against the Carolina Panthers with a lower left leg injury and later posted a tweet that suggested he was contemplating retirement.

Thomas collided with teammate Kam Chancellor while breaking up a pass intended for tight end Greg Olsen with 10:40 left in the second quarter. He tried to get up and walk the injury off but was unable to and went back to the ground.

Members of the Seahawks medical training staff carried Thomas off the field so that he wouldn't have to put weight on his left leg.
