RENTON Chris Carson is on injured reserve with a fractured leg. And defensive lineman Quinton Jefferson is back with the Seahawks amid concerns about Pro Bowl defensive end Cliff Avril’s neck and spinal injury.
Seattle signed Jefferson off the Los Angeles Rams’ practice squad to its 53-man active roster on Monday.
The Seahawks’ draft choice in 2016 fills the roster spot of Carson, who is on IR a day after he broke a bone in his leg above the ankle and below his knee late in the 46-18 win over Indianapolis.
Carson could return after a minimum of eight weeks on injured reserve, or after Nov.
