Carroll: RB Ken Walker is still tender after hernia surgery and there's no timetable for his return.

As the tweet went on to say, and as we reported after the surgery, Carroll previously said he expected Walker back for Week 1, so that seems like a potentially significant update that doesn't sound great for fantasy owners. Walker is missing valuable time with the team and so it looks like Penny will have much of the lead back work with Homer and Dallas serving as change of pace or passing down backs.

Seahawks star RB Chris Carson is retiring from the NFL due to a neck injury, sources say.

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.

“I think [Rashaad Penny] deserves a shot to show that, to start it out,” Carroll said, via Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times. “We’ll still rotate to keep you guys fresh, but yeah, we’re gonna give him a shot again to come right on back and see if we can keep going.”

Finally healthy, Penny got the start against the Texans last Sunday and he made the most of it by running 16 times for 137 yards and two touchdowns. Carson is dealing with neck issues, with lots of questions surrounding his future, so the Seahawks could be looking for their future RB1.

Seahawks RBs Alex Collins (abdomen), Rashaad Penny (hamstring), and Travis Homer (calf) are questionable for Week 13's game against the San Francisco 49ers.

Congrats to Dallas for being the only healthy back. Avoid all four unless Dallas is the only active back.

Some clarity on Chris Carson's upcoming neck surgery: HC Pete Carroll said his understanding is that Carson has a disc issue that needs to be fused.

The tweet went on to quote Carroll: "That’s a surgery that can get him back somewhere late in the spring. That’s what I’ve heard. So we’ll see what happens with that." We reported earlier today the team was prepared to use a committee in Week 11 instead of a bigger workload for Collins, but Penny injured his hamstring on his first run and the team split reps with Collins and Dallas for the most part. It looks like the Seattle backfield is going to come with risks for the rest of the season in terms of workload. Penny's hamstring injury is said to be minor.

Rashaad Penny made his first career start Sunday and gained 18 yards on the first play, but he hurt his hamstring and only played seven more snaps.

The story said the Seahawks wanted to go with a backfield committee, and that may have included Penny based on him getting the start. The story went on to say the team still did use a committee with Dallas and Collins (who's been their primary back since Chris Carson went down). Each played 18 of 49 snaps. Travis Homer played five snaps. Pete Carroll didn't have an update postgame on Penny's injury, the story went on to say. With Carson lost for the season, Penny could have fantasy value if he can get healthy, and stay healthy. However, with the Seahawks sinking in the standings, it could shift to a committee with an eye toward 2022.

Seahawks RB Chris Carson is expected to have season-ending neck surgery to take care of a lingering problem.

A blow to an offense struggling to find consistency in the run game. Look for the same committee approach with mediocre success the rest of the 2021 season.

Seahawks HC Pete Carroll told reporters Friday that RB Chris Carson (neck) will not play this week at Green Bay. "We don't feel like it's time yet, so we're going to keep him out," said Carroll.

After a strong showing in practice, Carson will wait at least one more game. Look for Collins to lead the team in carries.

During his radio hit on KIRO 97.3 FM Friday, Seahawks HC Pete Carroll said that QB Russell Wilson (finger) will start Week 10 at Green Bay. Carroll also said WR D'Wayne Eskridge (concussion) is likely to play, while RB Chris Carson (neck) is a game-time decision.

The Seahawks offense survived without Russ and appear to be on their way to being full strength for the first time since Week 1.

Seahawks RB Alex Collins (groin) is questionable for Week 8 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Collins was questionable last week and still gutted out a solid performance. If he were to miss Week 8, it would be a full blown RB committee.
