Earl Thomas ruled out for Seahawks

RENTON, Wash. (AP) — Seahawks free safety Earl Thomas will miss the first start of his professional career Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Thomas was ruled out Friday due to a hamstring strain suffered during last week's victory over the Philadelphia Eagles. Thomas has started 106 straight regular-season games and 12 playoff games without missing a game due to injury.

Steven Terrell is expected to start in Thomas' place against Tampa Bay. It will be his first career start.

Center Justin Britt is expected to be a game-time decision.
