Carson out for the season!

I hope these free Penny, time for Penny statements are intended as jokes.

PeteBall needs a great running back, and an elite game manager. PeteBall hasn't been the same since Marshawn retired, consequent effort to find that great running back all end in failure except Carson. Lacy, Penny etc., none truly worked out. Any can't miss RBs available in next year's draft? Once we trade Russ to a team with great offense minded HC and established OL, we can use the draft picks from his trade to overhaul our OL, RB and find that manager.

With trade of Russ, retirement of Brown, and releasing Penny, we will have cap, won't we?

I would like to see them take a flyer on this guy.

TYRION DAVIS-PRICE RB LSU

Has size to hold up and enough to work with to maybe be a guy that is a bell cow back.

BREECE HALL, IOWA STATE

Looks the part but Price is more rounded, Hall isn't going to fool anyone as a pass catcher and not great at blocking.

CHRIS RODRIGUEZ JR., KENTUCKY 5-foot-11, 224-pounder

BRIAN ROBINSON, ALABAMA 6-foot-1 and 228 pounds,

I am looking at running style and size to hold up for a long season, we have backs that are situational.

Unless we change our O line to a more Rams like agility type scheme we need a power break tackles type for most downs. Now if one of these guys or another can be had and is a angry inflict pain guy we may get going again.

If he never plays again, he
has gave 100 % since being in Seattle . If playing too hard is a bad thing than I quit watching or caring about the NFL .

He should retire, the compression issue and nerve problem is not something I would mess with given he can be hit or run into someone at the wrong angle any given time and re injure or injure another location where they repair this and be worse off.

Yikes! From Pete today “he's got a disc issue that needs to be fused.” He should definitely 100% retire, keep your body as healthy as possible CC

Fuse less flexibility no cushion between vertebrae, he gets a neck jammed he could be done walking and using his hands if those fragments hit his spinal cord.

What Happens During a Single-Level Cervical Fusion?

When a patient undergoes a single-level cervical fusion surgery, it is typically a two-part process:

Decompression. Surgeon removes the intervertebral disc between adjacent vertebrae, as well as any other structures that might be irritating a spinal nerve or the spinal cord, such as bony overgrowths (bone spurs).

See Bone Spurs (Osteophytes) and Back Pain
Fusion. After the decompression part of the surgery, that spinal level needs to be stabilized. The surgeon instruments the two adjacent vertebrae and adds bone graft to promote bone growth and ultimately a solid fusion between the two vertebrae.

See Obtaining a Solid Spine Fusion

The surgery is termed an anterior cervical discectomy and fusion, or ACDF for shor

How Single-Level Fusion Affects Overall Neck Mobility

After the period of 6 to 12 months following ACDF surgery, during which the fusion sets up, a single-level cervical fusion does not significantly affect a patient’s overall cervical range of motion. While motion is lost at the vertebral level that is fused, adjacent levels (one above and below) tend to gain mobility, which mitigates at least some of the loss from the single-level fusion.

See ACDF Surgery Postoperative Care

Furthermore, some patients have even reported more neck mobility compared to before having the single-level fusion.1 This could be due to the fact that prior to having cervical fusion surgery, neck pain has already caused many patients to experience a reduction in active range of motion. If that pain is relieved by the surgery, much of the previously-lost range of motion can be regained.

Also, it should be noted that if a cervical fusion involves one of the top two cervical levels (where the base of the skull—called the occiput—connects to C1 and where C1 connects to C2 below), a significant loss of cervical range of motion will be noticed. Some estimates state that about one-third of the neck’s flexion/extension and half of rotation occurs at these top levels.2 However, it is rare for either of the top levels of the cervical spine to need a fusion.

Thats normal people not people running into 300 pound men and having missiles try to take their head off even if inadvertent.

I would hate to see the game he is carted off the field and there is no thumbs up.

Thanks Mr Carson you gave us everything, please take a bow and enjoy your life.

They have amazing technology now, but fusing or trying to puts some kind of spacer in the neck area to act as a disc? Not a good thing when you make a living headbutting 3 hundred pounders many times.

From Pete's description, rough spot on 1 of his vertebrae, it sounds like a bone spur that's irritating a nerve. Might not be too bad of a procedure if that's the case. The problem is potential nerve damage from cutting into that area
