Seattle Seahawks safety Kam Chancellor will not be returning back to the field. It was expected since Chancellor did not play the 2017 season due to a neck injury.
On Sunday, Chancellor took to Twitter to announce that he will not be returning to the Seahawks nor the field.
He did not use the word retirement but he did say it was “time for the next chapter” and revealed that his latest tests on his neck were not good.
“I always prayed to God and told myself that I would play this game of football until the wheels fall off,” Chancellor wrote. “Well the wheels didn’t fall off, but God has given me a sign that I just can’t ignore. I’ve played through all types of bruises and injuries at a high level. But this one I just can’t ignore. … To walk away from the game by choice is one thing, to walk away from the game because of the risk of paralysis is another. My final test showed no healing.”
Chancellor spent his entire career with the Seahawks. He was a four-time Pro Bowler, two-time second-team All-Pro and won a Super Bowl ring when the Seahawks beat the Broncos in Super Bowl XLVIII.
