MRI confirms Chris Carson’s injury is only a minor knee sprain

The Seattle Seahawks received some good news Monday morning, indicating their starting running back, Chris Carson, did not sustain a major injury in Sunday’s matchup after all.

Carson was rolled up on during the game and the fear was that the injury was significant.

NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported the good news via Twitter.

“Sigh of relief for the Seahawks: An MRI confirmed RB Chris Carson’s ligaments are intact and it’s just a minor knee sprain, source said,” Pelissero tweeted. “In fact, he’s got a chance to be ready for this week’s game at Miami.”

Coach Pete Carroll should have additional updates and confirmation on Carson’s status this afternoon during his 3:00 p.m. press conference.
