The Seattle Seahawks are releasing running back Chris Carson with a failed physical designation, a source confirmed to ESPN.
Carson is still leaving door open to potentially play again but he's been trying to rehab a neck injury that ended his 2021 season and it hasn't fully recovered, the source said.
The news was first reported by NFL Network.
Carson, 27, underwent surgery on his neck last year after the injury ended his 2021 season in October. He rushed for 232 yards and three touchdowns in four games.
He was under contract through this season after returning to Seattle on a two-year, $10.
