Seattle Seahawks cornerback Kalan Reed was placed on injured reserve this week after suffering a neck injury and missing the team’s preseason game against the Chargers.
He was scheduled to see a specialist on Monday, and the results are more than disappointing for the young player.
“Seahawks CB Kalan Reed suffered a neck injury that not only landed him on IR but is also likely career-ending, agent Harold Lewis tells me,” NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport tweeted Thursday morning. “Injuries to the 3rd and 4th vertebrae led to numbing after his final game and put him at serious risk if he plays again. A tough reality.”
Reed was originally selected by the Titans in the seventh round of the 2016 NFL draft and was signed by Seattle last year. He was making a solid push for the Seahawks’ nickelback spot and having an impressive start to camp.
