Seahawks star RB Chris Carson is retiring from the NFL due to a neck injury, sources say.
Related players: Rashaad Penny, Ken Walker, DeeJay Dallas, Travis Homer
Fantasy Impact:
Seattle will officially release him with a failed physical designation. Under the CBA, that allows Carson to receive several million in injury protection benefits. Seattle does right by him, according to Rapoport. There were rumblings of this as far back as last year, given the nature of the injury. From a fantasy standpoint, this officially clears the way for Penny and Walker to take over a majority of the RB workload.
