Chris Carson Needs Disc Fusion For His Neck
3 years agoSeattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson (neck) is scheduled to undergo a disc fusion in his neck, according to head coach Pete Carroll. The Seahawks have been told that Carson could be back on the field in late spring of 2022. Carson has yet to have the surgery. The 27-year-old has been on Injured Reserve since last playing on Oct. 3. Carson had been trying to return in recent weeks, but the team finally shut him down and announced he'd need season-ending surgery. He played in just four games this year, but the Seahawks are confident that this surgery will end his long-term neck pain and allow him to return uninhibited in 2022. Carson has been efficient when healthy, but he's had trouble staying on the field, which will make him a risky RB2 next season. Alex Collins will continue to share the backfield with the likes of DeeJay Dallas, Travis Homer and Rashaad Penny the rest of the way in 2021.
