Seattle running back Chris Carson, who played at Parkview High, was carted off the field with an air cast on his left knee after sustaining an apparent left knee injury on a play late in the Seahawks’ 46-18 win over the Colts on Sunday.

Carson originally signed with Georgia out of high school, but ended up at Butler (Kan.) Community College before signing with Oklahoma State.

He led the Cowboys in yards and carries as a junior then played a prominent role as a punishing runner in 2016.

He was drafted by the Seahawks in the seventh round of the draft and had emerged as the starting tailback after week one. He had a touchdown and 166 yards on 37 carries through four games.
