Summary

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson picked up yet another injury on Sunday in his team's overtime loss to the Arizona Cardinals. The fourth-year player has had to overcome an incredible number of injuries in his relatively short NFL career, but that has allowed him to move closer toward a goal that he has been pursuing for many years. The Athletic’s Michael-Shawn Dugar has the story of the promise Carson made to his mother after a family tragedy years ago, and why he is determined to keep it.
