Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson, a two-time 1,000-yard rusher, is retiring at 27 due to a neck injury. The Seahawks released him with a failed physical designation, allowing him to collect injury protection benefits. Carson had been dealing with serious neck issues since last year and underwent cervical surgery. Despite hopes of returning this season after recovery, he has decided to retire after five seasons with the team. The Seahawks have re-signed Rashaad Penny and drafted Kenneth Walker III as replacements for Carson in the running back position.
