Chancellor: 'If my body says I can play, I'm playing'

Kam Chancellor's NFL future remains unknown.

The Seattle Seahawks safety suffered a season-ending neck injury in November - an injury so severe that head coach Pete Carroll said Chancellor would "have a hard time playing football again."

The eight-year vet hasn't yet called it quits, however.

"If my body says I can play, I'm playing," Chancellor said on WVEC-TV in his hometown of Virginia last week, according to Kevin Patra of NFL.com.

The 30-year-old added that he won't be reckless.

"If my body says don't play, I'm not playing. I'll listen. I'm a very good listener," he said.

Seahawks general manager John Schneider said last week that Chancellor is scheduled to undergo a scan in June or July that will help shed some light on his recovery, according to the Seattle Times' Bob Condotta.

Seattle's secondary remains in flux. The team parted ways with longtime corner Richard Sherman and the future plans of Chancellor and free safety Earl Thomas are still up in the air.
