Seahawks place Chris Carson (broken leg) on injured reserve

The Seattle Seahawks have placed running back Chris Carson (broken leg) on injured reserve, per Field Yates of ESPN.

What It Means:

Carson suffered a fractured leg along with a high ankle sprain on Sunday night. Being placed on IR, Carson will be eligible to play in Week 13 but is more likely to be out until at least the playoffs if not for the year. Thomas Rawls will start in Week 5 but expect Eddie Lacy, C.J. Prosise, and J.D. McKissic to see plenty of snaps as well.

Carson racked up 208 rushing yards, 59 receiving yards, and 1 touchdown in 4 games this season.
