Earl Thomas' consecutive starts streak of 106 will end Sunday.
The Seattle Seahawks safety won't be on the field against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after he was ruled out Friday with a hamstring injury. The All-Pro suffered the first-degree sprain in last week's victory over the Philadelphia Eagles.
Thomas has never missed a game during his seven-year NFL career, including post-season matchups. Steven Terrell is expected to start in Thomas' stead.
The 'Hawks will also be missing Michael Bennett, who continues to recover from knee surgery. Starting center Justin Britt will be a game-time decision, according to coach Pete Carroll.
Thomas' streak of 106 starts is the longest for a defensive player in team history.
