The Seattle Seahawks have been plagued by injuries at the running back position as of late, prompting them to add former ‘Hawk Alex Collins to the practice squad then elevating him to the roster Week 9 for game day. Coach Pete Carroll is hoping he’ll see some of his injured players return in time to face the Rams.
Seahawks running backs Chris Carson and Carlos Hyde are both up and running, a good sign both could make it back this week.
“Carlos (Hyde) will be working this week to try to get back, so we’ll see what that means on Wednesday, Thursday, but he is running and he is working with the thought that if he can make through the week that he could,” Carroll said Monday afternoon.
Hyde has missed the last couple of matchups with a hamstring injury, so the fact that he is running again is promising for the Seahawks’ backfield.
“Chris in the same boat really,” Carroll explained of starter, Chris Carson. “I got an update just now that he’s got a chance, and we’ll have to see how he tolerates the work – he’s already out running and working on is cutting and stuff like that, so that’s a good statement going into Wednesday, and we’ll see how that works. I had hoped that we would get a look at him last week on Friday, that’s what we had planned to do, it just didn’t work out. So we’ll see as we’re going, it’s encouraging though.”
Carson, who has been battling a foot injury, has been sorely missed in Seattle’s offense. If he and Hyde are available in Los Angeles, the Seahawks will be in a much better position when they face off against the Rams.
