Seahawks RB Chris Carson’s timeline for return this season is uncertain

Seattle Seahawks starting running back Chris Carson’s timeline for return this season is uncertain as he continues to battle a neck injury.

The hits just keep coming for the Seattle Seahawks in the injury department this season. Starting running back Chris Carson, who has missed the last three contests with a neck injury, continues to battle with pain.

“It’s uncomfortable, basically,” coach Pete Carroll told reporters on Friday. “He has pretty good motion and flexibility, but it’s uncomfortable for him, the discomfort of what is going on. We have to get rid of that.”

Carson was placed on the injured reserve on Oct. 15 and, as of now, there is no clear timeline for his return.

Carroll was asked what exactly it would take to see the running back on the field and he attempted to explain.

“He has to make a turn here to show us that he’s feeling better and good enough to really go for it,” Carroll said. ‘He hasn’t been able to go out and practice yet. Pretty soon you will be saying is he going to make it back, just like you are asking, and I’m not ready to do that yet. I’m really keeping my fingers crossed for him to get a chance to get back and play.

“He’s working out hard, but he’s not ready to practice football yet.”

Rashaad Penny’s timeline for return uncertain after ACL surgery

Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny will undergo ACL surgery and might not be available at the start of the 2020 season.

Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny suffered a season-ending knee injury Week 14 against the Los Angeles Rams.

Initial testing revealed a “significant” ACL sprain, however, the MRI results confirmed the worst – Penny has an ACL tear, at the least.

“There’s some other stuff that they’ll look at when they get in there,” coach Pete Carroll told reporters Wednesday. “They are going to do surgery. He will have surgery. He’s not going in immediately. They’re going to let it quiet down before they do that. It’s a long haul before we get him back. We’re going to take all the right precautions to make sure we start the process at the right time.

“They got to get in there and find out what’s going on, but it’s an ACL damage mainly that they’re concerned with.”

Carroll was asked whether or not Penny could be unavailable at the start of next season.

“No, I would never say that right now,” Carroll said. “I don’t know how many months we got. It’s going to take him a while.”

With Penny out, Seattle will rely on C.J. Prosise and Travis Homer to assist starter Chris Carson in the run game. The Seahawks will square off against the Panthers in their final road game of the season this Sunday.
