Chris Carson News
Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson (neck) is retiring from football due to a serious neck injury that he suffered last year, according to sources. The Seahawks will officially release him with a failed-physical designation. Under the Collective Bargaining Agreement, it allows Carson to receive several million in injury protection benefits. Carson only played in five seasons with Seattle, but he had back-to-back 1,000-yard rushing seasons in 2018 and 2019 and was in the RB1 conversation when healthy. The 27-year-old will finish his career in the NFL with 3,502 rushing yards and 24 touchdowns on 769 carries, while adding 107 receptions for 804 yards and another seven TDs. Rashaad Penny, if healthy, will lead Seattle's backfield in 2022, with rookie Kenneth Walker III serving in a change-of-pace role.
Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson (neck) has not been present at the team's mandatory minicamp this week and hasn't shown up at all to offseason workouts while recovering from neck surgery. Head coach Pete Carroll has said that the team won't know Carson's availability until they see how his body responds to contact, which won't happen until training camp. It's not a surprise that Carson isn't in attendance, and he remains a big question mark to be ready for the start of the regular season, making him a highly risky fantasy selection. If the 27-year-old is delayed, Rashaad Penny, who was one of the best RBs in the league down the stretch last year, would see a big fantasy boost. Rookie Kenneth Walker III would also receive a boost in a complementary role.
Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson (neck) is still rehabbing and the organization doesn't have many updates yet. However, head coach Pete Carroll and the organization are optimistic about Carson. He is recovering from neck surgery, so fantasy managers will have to wait and see. Hopefully there will be more information on Carson closer to training camp. In the meantime, Kenneth Walker and Rashaad Penny will fight for snaps in the backfield. This could end up being a timeshare type of situation, assuming Carson doesn't return right away.
