Many NFL players and coaches dislike the concept of Thursday night games, but Richard Sherman isn't one of them.

The Seattle Seahawks travel to play the Arizona Cardinals on Thursday.

“I think it’s fun,” Sherman said. “I think it’s going to be a bunch of fun. You always are looking for your next opportunity on the field, win, lose or draw. You always want to just get right back out there. I think people would rather play than practice, so shoot, it’s a lot of fun for us.” 

Sherman believes the short week benefits teams like the Seahawks because of their excellent depth.

“Definitely, because you never really know in the NFL how the injury situation is,’’ Sherman said. “Legs get weathered in a game and things like that. We know we have defensive backs who can step in, we have linebackers that can step in in a short week. The defensive line has incredible depth, and on the offensive side you see the receiving corps can mismatch any parts they want. I think that is huge for us in a game like this where the legs aren’t always 100 percent.”
