The Seattle Seahawks' imposing defense has lost a key contributor with star safety Kam Chancellor likely out for the remainder of the season because of a neck injury, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo.
Chancellor suffered the injury—which had been referred to as "neck stingers" by head coach Pete Carroll, according to ESPN.com's Brady Henderson—late in the Seahawks' 22-16 win over the Arizona Cardinals on Nov. 9.
One of the most physically imposing players in the NFL, Chancellor's style of play has started to create injury problems for himself.
