Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson has been doing well in his rehabilitation process following his season-ending hip injury in Week 16. He has maintained that he will not need surgery to recover.
“It’s good, everything is smooth,” Carson told reporters when he cleaned out his locker to wrap up the season. “Got to stay patient.”
Carson recorded a career-high 1,230 rushing yards on 277 rushes for seven touchdowns and a career-high 266 receiving yards on 37 receptions for two TDs in 15 games in the 2019 season. However, he also had seven fumbles, losing four of them.
Coach Pete Carroll reports the third-year running back should be fully healed in time for Week 1 of the 2020 season and that they are counting on him to produce at full strength.
With Carson entering a contract year, he will need to produce at a high level and avoid injury more than ever going forward.
“I feel 100% ready for it,” Carson stated. “It’s not going to be too much. Nothing I haven’t done before. I’ll be ready for it.”
