Seahawks' offense has bigger problems than Wilson's finger
Russell Wilson’s valiant effort to return ahead of schedule from a finger injury gave the Seattle Seahawks a built-in explanation for what happened against Green BayNOVEMBER 16, 2021 • Associated Press
Status remains unknown Coach Pete Carroll said Monday that the Seahawks will be "revisiting" Carson's (neck) status Wednesday, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
Impact Carson is less than a week into his 21-day window to practice and put himself in a position to return from injured reserve. He was able to practice last Wednesday and Thursday, but the team held him out Friday and ultimately determined his neck wasn't fit for Week 10 action. It's unclear exactly where Carson stands in his recovery from a sore neck that has sidelined him for five games, but as long as he's unavailable to Seattle's backfield, Alex Collins will handle most of the work while Travis Homer, Rashaad Penny and DeeJay Dallas are available for complementary touches.

Impact After Seattle designated Carson for return Wednesday, he mixed into practice both Wednesday and Thursday, but he didn't take part in Friday's session, according to Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle. As hinted at by Carroll, Carson likely still is dealing with some discomfort in his neck and will remain on IR for at least another week. The Seahawks thus will hand the rock to Alex Collins while Russell Wilson (finger) makes his return to action this weekend. Behind Collins, the trio of Rashaad Penny, Travis Homer and DeeJay Dallas will scoop up any remaining RB reps.

Likely game-time call Carson (neck) is expected to be a game-time decision for Sunday's game at Green Bay, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
Impact The 27-year-old returned to practice this week after sitting out the past four games with a neck injury, but he has yet to fully prove in practice that he's ready for game action. Carson will need to be activated from injured reserve ahead of Saturday's roster deadline to have a chance of suiting up Sunday, otherwise his potential return will be pushed to Week 11.

Could play if practice goes well Coach Pete Carroll said Carson (neck) is no longer dealing with discomfort but still needs to be evaluated throughout the week of practice before he's cleared to return for Sunday'...
Impact The Seahawks are hoping Carson can make it back as soon as Sunday, though they'll have a 21-day window to reinstate him to the active roster after designating him Wednesday to return from IR. It sounds like all outcomes are still in play here, with Carson potentially starting this Sunday if practice goes well, whereas a setback could send him to the season-ending version of IR. There won't be any official practice status for Carson on Wednesday (or Thursday/Friday, in all likelihood), as he's still on injured reserve and doesn't need to be activated until Saturday afternoon in order to play in Sunday's game against the Packers.

Returns to practice Wednesday The Seahawks designated Carson (neck) for return from injured reserve Wednesday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Impact As coach Pete Carroll predicted Monday, Seattle expected Carson to return to practice Wednesday, and this procedural move allows him to do just that. Carroll also told Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times that the team will take it "one day at a time" with Carson as he aims to get past the sore neck that sidelined him for four games before a Week 9 bye. Carson likely will be eased into drills this week, and with a 21-day window to activate him from IR, the Seahawks technically can wait until after a Week 12 game at Washington on Monday, Nov. 29 to make such a decision, or they could keep him on the reserve list for the rest of the season. While Carson attempts to get back to full health, the backfield will be the domain of Alex Collins, with Rashaad Penny, Travis Homer and DeeJay Dallas on hand for any reps that linger.

May practice Wednesday Carson (neck) is in line to return to practice Wednesday, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Impact The Seahawks have yet to designate Carson for return from injured reserve, which is the procedural move that must happen for the running back to get back on the practice field. Coach Pete Carroll said Monday the team is taking Carson's situation "one day at a time" as he recovers from the sore neck that so far has kept him sidelined for four contests. Once his practice window is opened, Seattle will have 21 days in which to evaluate Carson and either clear him to play or let him remain on IR for the rest of the campaign. For the time being, Alex Collins will continue to lead the Seahawks backfield, while Rashaad Penny, Travis Homer and DeeJay Dallas serve in complementary roles.

Not ready to practice Carson (neck) has yet to be designated for a return from IR, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Coach Pete Carroll indicated last week that the running back was targeting a potential return to practice in advance of this Sunday's game against the Packers, but that has yet to happen, which clouds Carson's Week 10 status. If he's unable to return to action this weekend, Alex Collins, Rashaad Penny, Travis Homer and DeeJay Dallas would continue to handle Seattle's backfield duties.

Plans to return after bye Coach Pete Carroll said Wednesday that Carson (neck) plans to resume practicing and retake the field Week 10, after Seattle's bye, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Impact Carson reportedly intends to return to game-action versus the Packers on Nov. 14, but he will obviously first have to pass a number of medical hurdles. After all, Carroll said as recently as Friday that Carson could potentially be in danger of missing the season. The starting running back's neck injury has kept him sidelined since Week 4. Russell Wilson (finger) is also a candidate to return to the lineup versus Green Bay.

Could miss rest of season Coach Pete Carroll acknowledged Friday that Carson (neck) is in danger of missing the rest of the season, though the Seahawks still hope he can "make a turn" and get back on the fi...
Impact Carroll previously mentioned an indefinite timeline, and he's now using terms like "got to make a turn" and "fingers crossed" when discussing a potential return for his starting running back, according to Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle. That's not to say a return in 2021 should be ruled out, but it is clear the Seahawks aren't counting on it. Carson last played Week 4 and currently resides on injured reserve, while Alex Collins (groin), Rashaad Penny, Travis Homer and DeeJay Dallas are the current backfield options in Seattle.
OCTOBER 29, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
No timetable yet Coach Pete Carroll on Saturday suggested Carson (neck) is without a firm timetable for return, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Impact Carson isn't eligible to return off injured reserve until Week 10 at the earliest so it's not entirely surprising to hear this assessment, but it's worth reiterating given the ambiguity regarding the veteran's neck injury suffered all the way back in early October. Alex Collins, DeeJay Dallas and Travis Homer have done a respectable job of covering the workload in Carson's absence, and Rashaad Penny (calf) could also contribute in the coming weeks, but without Russell Wilson (finger) the Seahawks offense has struggled to consistently move the ball regardless. Wilson is also eligible to return off injured reserve Week 10.
