The Seahawks have already lost running back Rashaad Penny for the season due to a torn ACL and will now be without both Chris Carson and C.J. Prosise for the remainder of the Week 16 contest against the Arizona Cardinals.
Both running backs suffered injuries in the first half of the game and neither will return to the matchup.
Carson was initially deemed questionable to return with a hip injury but was ruled out shortly after the start of the third quarter per the TV broadcast. Prosise has been sidelined with an arm injury.
With Carson and Prosise now unavailable, that leaves rookie Travis Homer to shoulder the load in the run game. Seattle selected Homer in the sixth round of this year’s draft out of Miami.
Carson finished the day with eight carries for 40 yards and Prosise logged four touches for 14 yards.
Coach Pete Carroll should have injury updates on both running backs during his post-game press conference.
As of this post, the Cardinals lead the Seahawks 20-7 in the third quarter.
