RENTON, Wash. — Seattle Seahawks strong safety Kam Chancellor said scans on his injured neck have shown no improvement and declared it was “time for the next chapter.”
Chancellor had been awaiting further clarity on his neck, which he injured in a game against the Arizona Cardinals in November. In a posting on his Twitter account Sunday night, Chancellor said his latest scans “showed no healing.”
“I’ve played through all types of bruises and injuries at a high level. But this one, I just can’t ignore,” he wrote.
Chancellor never used the word “retirement” in his statement, which may have been deliberate.
