Seahawks escaped the Wrath of Goodell in regards to them hiding legit injuries from the league. Got off with just a warning instead of the potential loss of a 2nd Round draft pick.

NFL found out they were hiding a serious injury Richard Sherman was suffering and were listing different injuries and/or reasons for his official status in order to stay eligible for games. Only noticed the deception when the Sehawks suddenly changed his injury to something different one week.

The violation was determined to be the result of a misinterpretation of the policy's reporting requirements, a source told ESPN's Adam Caplan.

Sherman never missed a game last season. The Pro Bowl cornerback was listed on the injury report in 11 of the team's final 12 games (including the playoffs), but the knee injury was never listed. In 10 of those weeks, he missed practice time, but the Seahawks listed the reason as "non-injury related." In Week 12, Sherman was listed with an ankle injury.

The NFL's rule says, "If any player has a significant or noteworthy injury, it must be listed on the practice report, even if he fully participates in practice and the team expects that he will play in the team's next game."
