This is not surprising in the least.

Disclaimer: I am not a Carson believer. His style, injury concerns, his historically bad performance in the playoff game last year, and Penny, are huge red flags for me.

I don’t think this specific knee scope or whatever it was(arthroscopic knee surgery can be a 45 min outpatient scrape basically or something more major like meniscus repair etc) is necessarily a big deal, but he does have major injury concerns with his past and his running style. His production during the reg season depends on him staying healthy and on him out efforting and bruising the D. Clearly when the intensity and effort were cranked up from the Dallas D in the playoffs he crumbled. Rams ran all over Dallas, Penny looked good in his few touches against Dallas, Mike Davis looked fine against Dallas - it was only Carson who fell apart and looked like a practice squad player.

I think it is just a bad long term combo for a player - an injury prone Medium talent back must rely on extreme effort, intensity, and physicality to best defenders. I don’t see him lasting, but in the short term Seattle could just ride him hard for a year plus and then move Penny into the full time starter role for the last 2-3 years of his rookie contract. Even so, that could increase his short term injury concerns even more. He’s heavily overrated right now because of people not aware of these issues. Just my thoughts as someone who has watched this situation in Sea very closely

I completely agree. I think Carson's touches are diminished slightly this year, but I think he will still have a very good early down role. He is the epitome of a first contract player, to me. I also believe Penny was a raw player, and Pete was not going to thrust him into spots he wasn't ready to take on. Pete is an ex college coach, and knows this, and also knows how to groom prospects to be more complete players.

Not a player but apparently the HC of the Packers tore his achilles.
