Seattle's Chancellor played Super Bowl with torn MCL

RENTON, Wash. (AP) – Seattle Seahawks strong safety Kam Chancellor played in the Super Bowl with a torn medial collateral ligament in his left knee, according to the team’s website.

In a story on Seahawks.com posted Wednesday, Chancellor said two days before the loss to New England he was told he wasn’t going to play. Chancellor collided knees with a teammate in practice the Friday before the game and suffered a deep bone bruise. During the examination, the torn MCL was revealed, Chancellor said in the story.

Chancellor was briefly in the Seahawks locker room on Tuesday during locker cleanout, but a team employee said he would not be speaking to the media.

Chancellor had 10 tackles and was in for every defensive play of the game despite the injury.
