It’s no surprise, but it’s still notable that after initially listing him as doubtful the Seahawks now have ruled safety Earl Thomas out for Sunday’s game at Tampa Bay.

Thomas will see his impressive streak of 106 consecutive starts come to an end due to a hamstring injury he suffered in last week’s win over the Eagles.

The Seahawks also made one other change from their previous report. Linebacker Brock Coyle, who had been declared out, will be listed as doubtful.

Defensive end Michael Bennett will miss his fifth game with a knee injury, and rookie tunning backs C.J. Prosise and Troymaine Pope are also out. Cornerback DeShawn Shead and offensive lineman Justin Britt are questionable.
