Seahawks RBs Chris Carson & C.J. Prosise Out For Season

Update: 

On Monday, Pete Carroll announced that RB Chris Carson has a hip fracture and is out for the season, per Bob Condotta

The good news, however, is that Carroll did say there is no long-term concern for Carson’s hip. 


Seahawks HC Pete Carroll told reporters after Sunday’s game that RBs Chris Carson (hip) and C.J. Prosise (broken arm) are expected to miss the remainder of the season, per Bob Condotta.  

According to Carroll, the plan is for Carson to have more tests on Monday, but the expectation is that this is likely a season-ending injury.

Carroll added that LT Duane Brown needs knee surgery and will undergo the procedure on Monday. The expectation is that Brown could still return. 

You can expect the Seahawks to add some running backs in the coming days.
