Chancellor inactive

Seahawks S Kam Chancellor (groin) is inactive for tonight's game against the Cardinals, as expected. He hasn't been close to full strength since suffering his injury last Thursday. S Kelcie McCray will start in his place for the 2nd straight game.

Seahawks S Kam Chancellor announced Sunday that his neck injury is not allowing him to return to the field. Per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the safety has yet to formally retire. But Chancellor said in a lengthy Twitter post that it's "time for the next chapter." He has been out since last November with the neck injury. Seattle is sure to miss Chancellor but does already have Bradley McDougald, who started the final 9 games of 2017. If you're a DS Insider, then you might have already noticed that we had McDougald projected to start next to Earl Thomas this season (anticipating this scenario). McDougald looks like a big-time sleeper for IDP drafts this season.

Seahawks S Kam Chancellor missed the final 7 weeks of 2017 with a neck injury, an injury he apparently has yet to put behind him. According to John Boyle of Seahawks.com, Chancellor is "expected to have more tests later this summer" that might determine whether he can play in 2018. If Chancellor remains out, Bradley McDougald will present significant IDP upside as the SS in a defense that shed DL Michael Bennett, DT Sheldon Richardson, DE Cliff Avril and CB Richard Sherman this offseason. We'll see how this story develops.

The Seahawks have ruled S Kam Chancellor out for Monday night's game against the Falcons with a neck injury. HC Pete Carroll said that no decisions have been made about his season beyond that. S Bradley McDougald is expected to start in Chancellor's place against the Falcons.

Seahawks S Kam Chancellor left Saturday's loss to the Cardinals with an ankle injury. He returned in the 2nd half. That would seem to make him a solid bet for Week 17, when Seattle will remain in play for the #2 seed in the NFC. We'll keep an eye on his status this week, though.

Seahawks S Kam Chancellor (groin) put in a full practice Wednesday, his 1st since suffering the injury in the lead-up to Week 6. Chancellor has missed the past 4 games but appears to be on track to play this Sunday at New England.
