Finishes in cold spell Hyde rushed four times for five yards in Saturday's 30-20 wild-card loss to the Rams.

Impact Hyde's final two games of the 2020 season were against the Rams, and his usage was limited to just seven touches for 31 yards. The 30-year-old running back's seventh NFL season was defined by injuries, specifically shoulder and hamstring issues, and he played just 10 games. In that stretch, Hyde carried 81 times for 356 yards (4.4 YPC) and four touchdowns, and added 16 receptions (20 targets) for 93 yards). Hyde is set to be an unrestricted free agent in March. Chris Carson, who led the Seahawks' backfield with 968 yards from scrimmage, is in the same situation, and his status with the team could weigh into Hyde's decision whether to stay.

Cleared for wild-card round Coach Pete Carroll said Tuesday that Hyde (illness) will play in Saturday's wild-card game against the Rams, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Hyde missed the regular-season finale due to a non-COVID-19 illness, but he'll be back in action for the first round of playoffs. With Rashaad Penny back in the lineup, there are fewer reps to go around behind Chris Carson, and Penny could ultimately end up with more playing time Saturday.

Ruled out for Week 17 Hyde (illness) won't play in Sunday's game against the 49ers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Hyde hasn't tested positive for COVID-19, but he didn't travel with the team and will miss his sixth game of the season. The 30-year-old running back finished the 2020 regular season with 356 rushing yards and four touchdowns, adding 16 receptions (on 20 targets) for 93 yards. Hyde will aim to return for the playoffs. Rashaad Penny figures to see an uptick in usage behind Chris Carson on Sunday.

Carries questionable tag for finale Hyde (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.

Impact According to head coach Pete Carroll, Hyde sat out each of the Seahawks' three practices this week while battling flu-like symptoms, per Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic. Hyde hasn't missed a game since returning from a hamstring injury to face Arizona in Week 11, but he could be in danger of sitting out the regular-season finale. If Hyde is unable to go this weekend, Rashaad Penny would serve as the clear top understudy to lead back Chris Carson.

Sits out again Thursday Hyde (illness) missed practice Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact With two absences under his belt during Week 17 prep, Hyde is trending in the wrong direction as he deals with an illness. If the Seahawks ultimately don't have his services Sunday versus the 49ers, Rashaad Penny is the likely candidate to slot in as the No. 2 running back to starter Chris Carson (foot).

Misses practice with illness Hyde (illness) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact At this time, Hyde's illness hasn't been linked to COVID-19. If he doesn't get cleared for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Rashaad Penny likely would take over the change-of-pace role behind lead back Chris Carson (foot) because DeeJay Dallas (ankle) is trending toward another absence.

Registers 26 yards Hyde rushed twice for eight yards and caught his lone target for 18 yards in Sunday's 20-9 win over the 49ers.

Impact Hyde logged 20 snaps on offense as the clear No. 2 behind Chris Carson, while Rashaad Penny played just four snaps. Carson will continue to be the bell cow in a Week 17 clash against the 49ers, leaving minimal fantasy upside for Hyde, especially if Penny receives an increased workload in his third game back.

Rips off 50-yard score Hyde rushed twice for 55 yards and a touchdown and caught two of three targets for eight yards in Sunday's 20-15 win over Washington.

Impact Hyde made his mark on the opening drive of the second half, ripping off a 50-yard touchdown -- the Seahawks' longest rushing score since Week 12 of the 2019 season. Still, the 30-year-old back was rarely involved, as Chris Carson handled a lion's share of the reps (18 total touches). Rashaad Penny figures to garner more looks moving forward, too, as he eases in from a lengthy ACL recovery. Therefore, it will be tough to rely on Hyde in fantasy championships, especially against the Rams' daunting run defense in Week 16.

Puts in full practice Hyde (toe) practiced fully Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact While Hyde upped his activity level from Wednesday's limited session, fellow running back Chris Carson (foot) maintained that listing for a second straight day. In three games working in tandem with Carson, Hyde has totaled 37 touches for 106 yards from scrimmage, which is a far cry from the former's 41 touches for 267 total yards and three TDs. Despite the guaranteed reps, Hyde hasn't been able to do much with the workload.

Limited during Wednesday's session Hyde (toe) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact Hyde logged a trio of limited practices last week before leading the Seahawks with 15 carries for 66 yards in a 40-3 triumph over the Jets. The Seahawks once again are capping the 30-year-old running back's practice reps for what is likely maintenance purposes. Chris Carson (foot) also was limited Wednesday. If both players are healthy in Sunday's game against Washington, Hyde should serve as the clear second fiddle to Carson as long as the game is relatively close.

Leads backfield in carries Sunday Hyde carried the ball 15 times for 66 yards in Sunday's 40-3 win over the Jets.

Impact With the game well in hand by the second quarter, Hyde mixed in regularly with Chris Carson and ended up seeing the same number of touches on the day, although Carson's 98 scrimmage yards far surpassed Hyde's total. He's more likely to take a back seat to Carson in Week 15's road tilt against a Washington squad that should put up more of a fight.
