Three days after the Seahawks filed suit against Malik McDowell attempting to recoup almost $800,000 in bonus money, McDowell took to Twitter Saturday afternoon to claim that he was healthy enough to play but the Seahawks had ‘their own reasoning’ for not letting him take the field while also appearing to question the legitimacy of the doctor used by the Seahawks.
The comments were the first in any public forum McDowell has made about his health since he suffered injuries in an ATV accident in July 2017 that meant he never played a down for Seattle.
