For the third time in his five years with the Seattle Seahawks, Chris Carson’s season is over early due to injury.
Pete Carroll confirmed at Friday’s press conference that Carson will undergo surgery for his lingering neck injury and thus won’t be activated off of injured reserve. He won’t be back until 2022.

Carson is clearly Seattle’s best running back and provides an element of physicality that no one else on the Seahawks’ depth chart has consistently matched since Marshawn Lynch’s departure.
