Did Chris Carson concerns lead Seahawks to draft RB Kenneth Walker III?

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson is still uncertain to return to the roster following a neck injury that required surgery in December. By March, all indications were that Carson’s workouts were going well, but there haven’t been any real updates since then.

Could this be the reason the Seahawks selected running back Kenneth Walker III in the second round of the 2022 NFL draft?

“I would say this, we picked him because, on the board, he was up there for us and we couldn’t pass him up,” Carroll said last Friday night after Walker was selected. “We don’t have updates yet on Chris, we won’t know for some time here, and we can’t predict it yet, so there is a little bit of uncertainty that we are waiting on. With the commitment that we have in the run game, we want that group of guys really raring up to get this thing going.
