Seattle Seahawks star cornerback Richard Sherman says he’s playing the Super Bowl regardless of the damage to his elbow. An MRI is coming to see exactly how much damage has been done.
#Seahawks CB Richard Sherman will have an MRI tomorrow, but nay have suffered ulnar nerve damage (elbow). He says he’s playing tho…
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) January 19, 2015Here is how the injury is described:
Ulnar nerve entrapment is classified by location of entrapment. The ulnar nerve passes through several small tunnels and outlets through the medial upper extremity, and at these points the nerve is vulnerable to compression or entrapment—a so-called “pinched nerve”. The nerve is particularly vulnerable to injury when there has been a disruption in the normal anatomy. The most common site of ulnar nerve entrapment is at the elbow, followed by the wrist.
