Seahawks won’t know status of RB Chris Carson until end of the week

The Seattle Seahawks won’t know the status of running back Chris Carson until the end of the practice week ahead of the 49ers matchup.

The Seattle Seahawks are set to square off against the San Francisco 49ers but won’t know the playing status of starting running back Chris Carson until at least the end of the practice week.

Carson left Sunday night’s contest early with a foot injury that was later confirmed as a mid-foot sprain by the MRI.

“Chris has something going on his foot that we have to see how it goes,” coach Pete Carroll told reporters Wednesday. “We’ll be real quiet on Chris until the end of the week and see how he goes on the weekend.

“So we won’t know entirely what’s happening until the week is out.”

Seahawks backup running backs Travis Homer (knee bruise) and Carlos Hyde (hamstring) are also dealing with minor injuries following the loss to Arizona.

The official Wednesday practice participation report will be released later in the afternoon.

The Seattle Seahawks didn’t suffer any major injuries in their Week-7 loss to the Arizona Cardinals but they could be thin at the running back spot for the near future.

Starter Chris Carson, who left Sunday’s matchup with a foot injury, might very well miss the 49ers contest Week 8.

“Chris has a mid-food sprain, there something there we could see so we just have to go week-to-week and see what happens,” coach Pete Carroll said Monday afternoon. “He was real determined to say ‘I can go with it,’ but we won’t know until the end of the week for sure.”

Backup running backs Travis Homer and Carols Hyde also suffered some dings in Arizona. Carroll confirmed Homer has a bruised knee, but it’s “something he has a chance to recover from.” As for Hyde, Carroll said he had “a little tightness in the hammy that we’re watching.”

The Seahawks could eventually get some help from Rashaad Penny when he returns from the physically unable to perform list, although that likely won’t be this week.

“I saw him working out today, and he looked pretty good,” Carroll said. “That’s on the docs, we’ve got to wait and see what they say. I don’t have the timeline on that. But he was working out on the grass and he was running hard today, so he’s getting close.”

The Seahawks have an off day Tuesday but return to practice at the VMAC on Wednesday.

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson left the team’s matchup against the Arizona Cardinals early on Sunday night due to a foot injury.

“Chris has got a mid-foot sprain,” coach Pete Carroll told reporters after the game. “We don’t know until we get an MRI what that means or what the extent of it is.”

The results from the MRI have now come back, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, who confirmed the diagnosis via Twitter on Monday.

“Source: #Seahawks RB Chris Carson, who left the game early, had his MRI and it showed that he did have a mid-foot sprain,” Rapoport tweeted. “He’s week-to-week, an indication he’ll miss some time.”

Carroll is scheduled to talk to the media later in the afternoon and will likely provide more information on Carson’s status then.
