Even with injury absences, Seahawks find way to keep rolling

Looking iffy for Week 9 Coach Pete Carroll said Carson will test out his foot Friday and evaluate him Saturday to determine if a return is possible Sunday at Buffalo, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official...
Impact Carson was a game-time call for this past Sunday's game against the 49ers, but the running back ultimately didn't do enough to gain clearance to play with his mid-foot sprain. After not practicing at all last week, it appears he won't take the field this week until Friday, at the earliest. If he remains sidelined this weekend and Carlos Hyde (hamstring) joins him, the Seahawks seemingly will roll with DeeJay Dallas as their primary RB, with Travis Homer (knee) potentially acting as the backup for a second straight contest.

Uncertain for Week 9 Coach Pete Carroll said he isn't sure if Carson (foot) will be ready for Week 9 against Buffalo, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Impact Carroll was commenting on his team's backfield situation after a 37-27 win over the 49ers on Sunday. With Carson and Carlos Hyde (hamstring) both inactive, DeeJay Dallas played 79 percent of offensive snaps and scored a pair of touchdowns. Carson was treated as a game-time decision, but it sounds like his pregame warmup didn't go well. He was absent from practice Wednesday through Friday, so even limited participation this week would be a step in the right direction.

Sidelined Sunday Carson (foot) is listed as inactive Sunday against the 49ers.
Impact Carson didn't practice at all this week due to a mid-foot sprain, entering the weekend with questionable next to his name. Late Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Carson had a "50-50" chance to play, but his status took a downturn Sunday when Jay Glazer noted on Fox NFL Sunday that the Seahawks didn't expect him to suit up. That has come to pass, and Carlos Hyde (hamstring) has joined Carson on Seattle's inactive list, leaving Travis Homer (knee) and DeeJay Dallas to lead the backfield Week 8.

Low expectations While Carson (foot) is a game-time decision for Sunday afternoon's game, the team does not expect him to be able to play, Fox's Jay Glazer reported on their morning pregame show.
Impact Earlier Carson's status has been described as a 'true game-time decision,' so we'll have to still await the results of his workout roughly 90 minutes before the 4:25 pm ET kickoff.

Remains game-time call Carson (foot) will have his availability for Sunday's game against the 49ers determined after going through pregame warmups, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Impact Schefter said one source indicated it was truly "50/50" whether Carson will be able to play in the divisional matchup. Pete Carroll made similar comments Friday, and it appears the 26-year-old's outlook hasn't changed much halfway through the weekend. Carlos Hyde (hamstring) is doubtful and Travis Homer (knee) is questionable for Sunday, so Seattle's backfield depth could be severely tested Week 8. DeeJay Dallas is the only other running back on the active roster.

Impact Travis Homer (knee) also is listed as questionable, but coach Pete Carroll said he expects the passing-down specialist to play. Carson is the big question mark, with the Seahawks viewing him as a game-time decision ahead of a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday afternoon. Confirmation one way or the other may not happen until the team releases its inactive list approximately 90 minutes before the game.

Headed for game-time decision Coach Pete Carroll expects Carson (foot) to be a game-time decision for Sunday's matchup with the 49ers, Brandon Gustafson of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.
Impact The same goes for Carlos Hyde (hamstring), though Carroll apparently sounded a bit less optimistic about Hyde's chances of playing. Carroll also mentioned that Travis Homer (knee) is expected to play, while Alex Collins will be signed to the practice squad. Despite missing practice Wednesday and Thursday, it sounds like Carson will be listed as questionable on the Friday injury report.

DNP on Thursday Carson (foot) didn't practice Thursday, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Impact Carson was knocked from Sunday Night Football this past weekend with what was eventually termed a mid-foot sprain. Termed week-to-week, he was held out of practice Wednesday and Thursday, which was expected as coach Pete Carroll said Carson won't get on the field until the end of the week, per Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle. In the end, Carson may be a "game-time decision" Sunday against the 49ers due to the banged-up nature of the Seahawks backfield. Both Carlos Hyde (hamstring) and Travis Homer (knee) haven't practiced this week, either, leaving rookie fourth-rounder DeeJay Dallas as the team's sole healthy running back.

May not practice this week Coach Pete Carroll said Wednesday that Carson (foot) will be held out of practice until the end of the week, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.
Impact This means Carson likely won't practice Wednesday or Thursday, but the ambiguous phrasing leaves the possibility that he could return to the field for Friday's session. The 26-year-old running back is dealing with a mid-foot sprain that makes him week-to-week, but Carson has played through a myriad of injuries in his career, including a knee sprain back in Week 4. However, he practiced during the week with the knee sprain, and it appears he'll take a different course of action this week. Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic believes that Carson is trending toward a game-time decision as a result, and fantasy managers should be prepared to pivot off Carson. It's tough to find a viable option in Seattle's backfield, however, as Carlos Hyde (hamstring) and Travis Homer (knee) won't be full participants in Wednesday's practice. DeeJay Dallas is the only running back with a clean bill of health heading into Sunday's matchup against San Francisco.

First loss shows Seahawks can't overcome all their flaws

Labeled week-to-week Carson is considered week-to-week after suffering a mid-foot sprain during Sunday night's 37-34 overtime loss to the Cardinals, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact Carson was forced out of Sunday's divisional contest prior to halftime, and it looks as though he's in legitimate danger of missing the Seahawks' Week 8 tilt against the 49ers. Carlos Hyde will take over as Seattle's top backfield weapon if Carson is forced to spend more time on the sideline. Travis Homer also suffered a knee contusion Sunday, and Rashaad Penny still doesn't appear ready to come off injured reserve, so rookie fourth-round pick DeeJay Dallas could be positioned for the No. 2 role behind Hyde.

Scheduled for MRI Carson will have an MRI to evaluate the extent of his mid-foot sprain, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Impact Carson was removed from Sunday's loss to the Cardinals, leaving Carlos Hyde, Travis Homer (knee) and DeeJay Dallas to split backfield snaps after halftime. Homer then left the game with a knee contusion, which allowed Dallas to get more work on passing downs. The Seahawks could be missing one or two running backs when they host the 49ers in Week 8.
