Richard Sherman blasts NFL injury reports
Richard Sherman
Richard Sherman  is not a fan of the NFL's injury reports.
Speaking with reporters on Wednesday   Sherman  who has been listed as questionable the past two weeks despite not missing a defensive snap for the Seahawks   said that the injury reports existed more for the people betting on the games than anyone else.
"I guess from what I understand the rule is for the gamblers  for Vegas  to make sure the odds and everything are what they are supposed to be  which is apparently what the league is concerned about when talking about injuries and things like that "  Sherman  said. "So maybe somebody should look into that  because I thought we weren't a gambling league and we were against all those things. But our injury report is specifically to make sure the gamblers get their odds right."
In response to  Sherman 's comments  the NFL put out a statement seemingly confirming  Sherman 's beliefs. However  the league counters the claim that they are for gambling  and instead suggesting that they are to protect the league from gambling.
 Sherman  added that  it  wasn't just people betting on games in Las Vegas that were beneficiaries of the NFL's injury reports. "Fantasy football  oh my God  " Sherman  said. "They are almost as bad as the gamblers."
While he was lighthearted by the end of the presser  it's striking to see a player call out the league for a policy as plainly as  Sherman  did in this case. You can watch  Sherman 's comments below.
The Seahawks head to Nashville on Sunday to take on the Tennessee Titans. Having not missed a game since 2011  fans can expect  Sherman  to play  regardless of what the injury report says on Sunday.
