RENTON, Wash. -- Richard Sherman felt good enough on Wednesday to break out his Halloween costume a little early, donning a cape, grabbing a wand, and presenting a very authentic Harry Potter look.It was a drastic difference from late Sunday night and into Monday morning when Sherman was suffering from dehydration and fatigue on the flight back to Seattle after being on the field for nearly 100 plays and more than 46 minutes of game time in the Seahawks 6-6 tie with the Arizona Cardinals.Five quarters of football is pretty tough. But Quidditch -- the Beaters, the Chasers, trying to find the Golden Snitch -- is tough, Sherman said Wednesday. Five quarters of football, though, in that element, that takes the cake.In all seriousness, Sundays tie with Arizona left the Seahawks defenders exhausted. Never before had a Seattle defense been on the field longer and the effects were notable.Between special teams and defense, strong safety Kelcie McCray was on the field for 108 plays, the most of any player in the NFL this season. Linebackers Bobby Wagner and K.J. Wright were on the field for 102 total plays. Sherman and Earl Thomas played 99 plays and DeShawn Shead was in for all 95 defensive snaps.It was an exhausting experience and three days later those involved were still trying to recover.I didnt know how much it was but I did know it was a long time, McCray said.Arizona held the ball for 46 minutes, 21 seconds Sunday. According to the Seahawks, that was the 11th-highest total for any regular-season game since time of possession was first tracked in 1977. Sherman wasnt the only one who needed IV fluids. Wagner left at one point during the game to get fluids in the locker room and missed only one play.Sherman seemed to have the most side effects from the game, being told afterward he was suffering effects of heat exhaustion. Sherman said it wasnt until Tuesday night that he started to feel normal again.They said I had a fever, but I had the shivers. It was bad, bad stuff, Sherman said. Probably around the third quarter, third quarter my legs started locking up. After a while you just kind of deal with it. Got to finish the game.Shermans body seemed to fail him on one play in particular in overtime where he attempted to undercut a throw for J.J. Nelson but couldnt get any push from his legs to break up the play. Nelson caught the pass and if not for McCrays effort to tackle him inside the 5, the game would have been over.At first I thought it was going to be a touchdown. I was like `this guy is about to score, game over. I just ran as fast as I (could) and gave everything I could to get him down, McCray said.Coach Pete Carroll revamped his Monday schedule to give players a few extra hours of sleep and some of the key contributors were expected to get a lighter amount of practice time this week in preparation for a long road trip to New Orleans.Right from the beginning leaving the locker room, we were talking making sure that throughout the next couple days that rest is really important, eating properly and getting everything all balanced back again, Carroll said. Weve been all over that. That kicks us really back to today, were in pretty normal mode, but were still accounting for those guys that had the big workloads and were going to take that into account as we measure the reps during the course of the week.Game notes Seattle is still unsure who will start at left tackle. Bradley Sowell suffered an MCL sprain in his right knee on Sunday but was trying to convince Carroll and the training staff he could play. Rookie George Fant, rookie Rees Odhiambo and veteran JMarcus Webb are the likely candidates if Sowell is held out. ... Seattle released veteran RB C.J.

Starting Thursday, 32 teams from across the world will compete for a chunk of the record-breaking $2 million prize pool, as well as the right to be called Call of Duty world champions.In order to win the coveted prize, teams must first survive a best-of-five, round-robin gauntlet against their respective group opponents, with the top two teams from each group advancing to the double-elimination knockout portion of the bracket.Lets take a look at who should advance out of Groups A-D:Group ATeams: Millenium, Splyce, eUnited, Black Forest GamesAdvancing: Millenium and SplyceGroup A belongs to two of the powerhouses from the European Pro division, Millenium and Splyce. Millenium has had an up-and-down season, first winning the Stage 1 playoffs before an uncharacteristic stumble during the Stage 2 regular season saw the team nearly jettison slayer Dylan MadCat Daly in an attempt to quell roster turmoil. Cooler heads seemed to prevail, however, as the group opted to stick together through the rest of the season, ultimately claiming the Stage 2 title on the heels of terrific performances from MadCat and veteran Callum Swanny Swan. Even with Swanny unable to attend CoD XP, Millenium should still advance out of the group stage. But replacement player Marcus MiRx Carter will need to gel with the group quickly if the group plans on advancing deep into the tournament.Splyce had similar ups-and-downs to its regional rivals. First came a surprise showing during Stage 1, which saw the team advance to the finals after a series of nail-biting matches, only to lose to Millenium. Then came a second-place finish during ESWC Zenith 2016 in which the team knocked off North American powerhouses FaZe Clan and Rise Nation before falling once again in the finals, this time to OpTic Gaming. Fast forward to the Stage 2 regular season, Splyce appeared to showcase a tantalizing amount of promise, finishing with a 12-6 record, good for third place in the league. However, dreams of returning to the finals were dashed after the team fell to Infused in a tight, seven-game semifinal bout.While Splyce should make it out of the group portion of this event, streaky players such as Ben Bance Bance and Joshua-Lee Joshh Sheppard could carry the team even further into the tournament, should they catch momentum.Group BTeams: Rise Nation, HyperGames, Apotheon Esports, SupremacyAdvancing: Rise Nation and HyperGamesRise Nation appears to be head and shoulders above its Group B counterparts, despite the teams lackluster performance during MLG Orlando (finished in fifth/sixth place). Simply put, Rise Nation has one of the best lineups in all of the CWL, thanks in part to Sam Octane Larew. When Octane is playing at his best, Rise can be a handful, as evidenced by its thrilling finish during the Stage 1 playoffs, where the team narrowly lost to OpTic Gaming in the finals. A strong tournament run could be in the cards if the lineup plays up to its immense potential.The second team to advance out of Group B certainly feels like a toss-up, as both HyperGames and Apotheon Esports could make it into the knockout stages of the bracket. The advantage goes to the team who has competed in the CWL all season, but it certainly wont be easy. The No. 1 seed in Europe during Stage 2, HyperGames hasnt fared particularly well during LAN events, most notably losing in the first round of the Stage 2 playoffs. A second-place finish at the following Gfinity CWL Summer Masters tournament helped to wipe away some of the sting, but considering the team has just one member, Shea Qwiker Sweeney, who has participated in a CoD Champs event, the lack of experience coupled with inconsistent play on LAN could doom the group.Group CTeams: Luminosity Gaminng, Mindfreak, FAB Game eSports, Chiefs eSports ClubAdvancing: Luminosity Gaming and FAB Game eSportsLuminosity enters Call of Duty XP as the favorite to advance out of Group C after conquering OpTic Gaming during the Stage 2 playoffs.dddddddddddd. A threat to make a run at any tournament, Luminosity has slowly started to build momentum in recent tournaments, losing in the semifinals to Dream Team in the Stage 2 playoffs and finishing in fifth/sixth place at MLG Orlando. Led by outspoken slayer/sniper Jeremy Studyy Astacio, Luminosity is versatile in most game modes, but seems to lack a level of consistency needed in order to achieve top-tier results. Like many other North American teams, Luminosity should have no trouble making it out of the group stage, but will need to rely on monster performances from its star players in order to make a deep run.Having recently acquired the entire Exertus roster heading into Call of Duty XP, FAB Game eSports might not look like a championship-level team on paper, as the team didnt even manage to make the Stage 2 playoffs, finishing the regular season with an 8-10 record. But in group play, star power can make all the difference and FAB Game eSports hosts arguably one of the best players in the European region, Billy Hawqeh Harris, who finished with the highest Kill/Death (KD) ratio (1.36) during Stage 2. FAB Game eSports will need to lean on Hawqeh if the team plans to make it out of the group stage.Looming in the weeds is Mindfreak, the best team from the Australia/New Zealand region. While the team has yet to prove itself on an international level during Black Ops III, Mindfreak has dominated the competition in its respective region and boasts some experience at Call of Duty Champs, most notably finishing in sixth place last year. Mindfreak is certainly capable of a repeat performance, but the teams lack of exposure against other international competition might come back to hurt it.Group DTeams: Renegades, Allegiance, Epsilon, Pulse GamingAdvancing: Renegades and EpsilonIts fair to question which version of Renegades will show up at CoD XP, as the organization formerly known as Dream Team has had its share of success throughout the season, most notably placing second at the Stage 2 playoffs. But like many of the other second-tier talent in North America, Renegades has been plagued by inconsistency, as evidenced by the groups finish at both MLG Anaheim and MLG Orlando. While some have seemingly chalked up the teams Stage 2 playoff run as a fluke -- thanks in part to the tournaments single-elimination format -- Renegades does boast a player with championship pedigree, Adam Killa Sloss, who won CoD Champs in 2013. If Killa, who has suggested Call of Duty XP will be his last competitive event, can perform up to his lofty standards, Renegades should waltz into the knockout portion of the event.For a team that hasnt placed higher than fifth at a major event all season, Epsilon still joins a long list of European teams capable of making noise at Call of Duty XP. Just like FAB Game eSports, star power could play a major factor in whether Epsilon can advance through the group stage, as both Matthew Skrapz Marshall and Thomas Moose Handley have had their fair share of success during the Stage 2 regular season. Skrapz, in particular was impressive, posting a 1.21 KD, which trailed only Hawqeh for the best figure during the European Stage 2 regular season. In any other group, Epsilon would likely face an uphill battle in order to move on to the knockout round, but surrounded by a plethora of other unproven teams, Skrapz and the rest of the team should have enough firepower to continue competing into the weekend.
