Chris Carson inactive for Thursday night football

The Seahawks were hoping for running back Chris Carson, but he won’t play Thursday Night Football. The team listed Carson as inactive after a neck injury prevented him from training this week.

Carson leads the Seahawks with 232 rushing yards and three touchdowns on 54 carries.

Alex Collins will start for the Seahawks. Collins rushed for 44 yards and a touchdown in 10 carries and added a 28-yard reception.

Linebacker Benson Mayowa (neck) and right tackle Brandon Shell (ankle) will play this week.

Cornerback John Reid, offensive tackle Jake Curhan, offensive tackle Stone Forsythe and defensive tackle Robert Nkemdiche join Carson on the inactive list. Defensive end LJ Collier, a former first-round pick, is only active for the second time this season.

Tight end Gerald Everett remains on the reserve / COVID-19 list.

The Rams didn’t name any players on Wednesday, so their five inactive are healthy scratches – quarterback Bryce Perkins, outside linebacker Chris Garrett, offensive lineman AJ Jackson, tight end Brycen Hopkins and defensive lineman Bobby Brown.
