Seahawks Safety Kam Chancellor Announces Retirement After Neck Injury

Seattle Seahawks safety Kam Chancellor has announced his retirement from the NFL after eight seasons.

Chancellor, 30, played in just nine games last season and suffered a serious nerve injury in his neck last November. In January, head coach Pete Carroll told reporters that Chancellor would have a "hard time" if he made a return to playing football. Chancellor was set to undergo MRI testing recently.
