With the injuries continuing to pile up for the Seattle Seahawks (7-4) in the 2017 NFL season, the team was given more unsettling news regarding the future of four-time Pro Bowl safety Kam Chancellor.
On Monday morning during an interview with 710 ESPN Seattle, Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll confirmed that Chancellor won't play again this season and said the star safety faces a decision for 2018 and the remainder of his career.
“He's not going to make it back. He's not coming back this year. The future is really again up to Kam,” Carroll said. “He does what he wants to do with that. He'll tell you what he wants to tell you about it.”
Carroll also said that defensive end Cliff Avril will have surgery on Tuesday for his neck injury that he suffered Week 4 during the Seahawks' win over the Indianapolis Colts.
“It's disk-surgery related. I've seen the pictures, but I can't explain it. We're really happy that he's going to get fixed up. I think at this point, that's up to Cliff. He's got to figure that out, so we'll let him answer that question,” Carroll said of Avril's future.
As far as good news goes, Carroll said that cornerback Shaquill Griffin (concussion) and running back Mike Davis (groin) should be full participants in practice this week ahead of the upcoming Sunday Night Football showdown with the Philadelphia Eagles (10-1) at CenturyLink Field.
