Carroll: RB Chris Carson 'gassed' from playing special teams

Sep 18, 2018

Pete Carroll says Chris Carson got “gassed” also playing special teams tonight, and coach wanted to see what Rashaad Penny could do.

Fantasy Impact:

Strangely, Carson had just six carries in the game for 24 yards, which makes one wonder why Carson was playing special teams. Meanwhile, Penny carried the ball 10 times for just 30 yards.

Jeudy’s designation allows him to return within the next 21 days with Week 7 or 8 looking like the most likely return date. John Brown will look to fill in the role of K.J. Hamler who was lost for the season.

Initially held off IR following his Week 3 injury this is a surprising and devastating hit to the Panthers. Matt Rhule recently argued that CMC hadn't faced any setbacks and was expected back Week 7 but with this move won’t be eligible until Week 9 at the earliest.

Fantasy Impact:

Chubba Hubbard will continue handling workload and may see an expanded role as the rookie had his best performance against Pittsburgh last week seeing 29 touches for 134 all-purpose yards.
