Seahawks S Kam Chancellor played Super Bowl with a torn MCL

Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said Monday that safety Kam Chancellor gave a “superhuman” effort to play in the Super Bowl after injuring his knee in practice two days before the game. And it turns out Chancellor did indeed play through a pretty significant injury, having suffered a torn MCL and bone bruise in Friday’s practice, according to the team’s website.

Chancellor was not made available to the media on Tuesday as players cleaned out their lockers, but did tell Seahawks.com, “They told me I wasn’t going to be able to play. They told me, ‘Torn MCL and bone bruise.’ I was mad, I was frustrated. But at the end of the day, I was able to play.”
