RENTON, Wash. (AP) — The Seattle Seahawks released running back Chris Carson with a failed physical designation on Tuesday, potentially signaling an end to his career because of a neck injury. Carson’s future was in doubt the entire offseason after he was injured in Week 4 last year and eventually underwent neck surgery. Seattle coach Pete Carroll cautioned that Carson may not be able to return and Tuesday’s move finalized the situation.

The Seahawks signed three more 2022 draft picks ahead of the start of training camp, meaning their entire nine-player draft class is now under contract.

Carson, 27, played in only four games with the Seahawks last season before he was sidelined due to the injury. He eventually had surgery in November.

Two-time 1,000 rusher Chris Carson is retiring from the NFL and the Seahawks will release him, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

When the Seahawks desperately needed an identity on offense, Carson filled the void as an unheralded seventh-round pick. Though his career wound up being too short because of injuries, the impact he made on the franchise and community will endure long after he hangs up his cleats.
