Chris Carson, Carlos Hyde still feeling impact of earlier injuries

Seattle Seahawks running backs Chris Carson and Carlos Hyde are both still feeling the impact of the injuries that sidelined them earlier.

The Seattle Seahawks have seen the return of their one-two running back punch over the last couple of weeks now that starter Chris Carson (foot) and Carlos Hyde (hamstring) have returned from their injuries.

The impact of those injuries, however, is still lingering for both running backs. Coach Pete Carroll said neither Carson nor Hyde were able to complete all the plays during practice last week.

“Carlos was sore going in right up to game time, so we had to adjust a little bit to it,” Carroll said Monday during his 710 ESPN Seattle interview. “That’s not the way we had hoped it would be by game time. I need to see how Chris is now. The soreness in his foot isn’t gone but he’s playing with it. The soreness in Carlos’ toe isn’t gone, either, so both those guys got issues but they’re making it through the game.”

Carson and Hyde both appeared in Sunday’s contest with Carson handling the bulk of the load, logging 11 carries for 65 yards and three catches for 45 yards and a receiving touchdown on the day.

“I’m hoping that they’re just that much further along this week and as we finish the fourth quarter of the season that our guys are ready to go, but I can’t tell you that right now,” Carroll concluded.

The Seahawks return to practice Wednesday to begin to prepare to face the Jets in Week 14.

Seahawks running backs Chris Carson, Carlos Hyde made it through week

Seattle Seahawks running backs Chris Carson and Carlos Hyde made it through the week and could play Thursday night against the Cardinals.

The Seattle Seahawks might see the return of a couple of running backs this week, just in time to face off against the Arizona Cardinals for “Thursday Night Football.”

Starter Chris Carson (foot) and Carlos Hyde (hamstring) both got some work in this week. Hyde was even a full participant on Wednesday and is no longer listed on the injury report.

“They did make it through the week and Carlos looked strong throughout,” coach Pete Carroll said after the walkthrough. “With Chris, we’re going to wait until tomorrow to see what we’re doing with it, but he did practice and looked good in all the stuff that he did.

“We’re real close with Chris, and feeling really good that Carlos will be out there.”

Carson did not practice on Wednesday but was a limited participant on Tuesday afternoon. He has been designated as questionable against Arizona.

Travis Homer is doubtful, listed with wrist, knee and thumb injuries.

Gametime is set for 5:20 p.m. PT Thursday night at CenturyLink Field. The official inactives list will be released 90 minutes prior to kickoff.

Seahawks RBs Chris Carson, Carlos Hyde both questionable Week 10

Seattle Seahawks running backs Chris Carson (foot) and Carlos Hyde (hamstring) are both listed as questionable Week 10 on the injury report.

The Seattle Seahawks could see the return of a couple of their running backs Week 10 against the division-rival Rams. Starter Chris Carson and backup Carlos Hyde, who have missed the two matchups due to injuries, could take the field in Los Angeles if they make it through the next few days.

Both Carson and Hyde are listed as questionable to play on Friday’s injury report.

“Carlos practiced today and got work done for the first time in a bit,” coach Pete Carroll told reporters after the walkthrough. “Chris is running today, tomorrow and gonna run on game day and see if he’s ready to go. We are waiting as long as we can to help him out.”

Carroll explained the plan to keep the backs fresh should they be called for duty on Sunday.

“We think Chris has a chance if we don’t overdo it early,” Carroll said. “So we decided not to put him on the field today. He still worked and ran and all of that. Carlos, this was a chance for him to show and he looked pretty good today.”

The Seattle Seahawks have been without running backs Chris Carson and Carlos Hyde for the last couple of outings and neither is practicing as of Wednesday, Week 10.

Both remain listed on the injury report – Carson with a sore foot and Hyde with a lingering hamstring issue.

Coach Pete Carroll provided some updates on the two to start the workweek.

“Chris is running more so than Carlos is able to at this time,” Carroll told reporters. “Chris is ahead of Carlos also coming back. He’s going to run today and tomorrow and see how he handles that. I can’t tell you anything more than that right now. I wish I could.”

To ensure depth at the running back spot ahead of the Week-10 matchup against the Rams, Seattle added former Seahawks running back Bo Scarbrough to the practice squad on Wednesday.

Lions’ Hunter Bryant returns to practice, begins 21-day evaluation window

Detroit Lions’ rookie tight end Hunter Bryant, who is currently on injured reserve, returns to practice today and begins a 21-day evaluation period.

Detroit Lions’ rookie tight end Hunter Bryant has been bitten by the injury bug at the beginning of his NFL career. After just a week of training camp, Bryant injured his hamstring and it was significant enough to keep him out through the Lions bye in Week 5. Ready to return to action post-bye, Bryant then suffered a concussion, which landed him on injured reserve.

Today, Bryant is healthy enough to begin partaking in football activities again, and he will participate in Wednesday’s practice. This will start a 21-day evaluation period where the Lions will use practices to determine if he is healthy enough to return to the active roster.

Bryant is eligible to return to the active roster at any time during the evaluation period, and for the time being, he will remain on injured reserve. If he is activated, the Lions would have to make a corresponding move to make space for him on the 53-man roster.

If the Lions determine he is not healthy enough to return to the active roster, they can either put him on season-ending injured reserve or release him from his contract.

Considering how long the Lions have kept him on the active roster, despite not playing an NFL down, it’s a safe assumption that the team will do their best to get him on the field as soon as possible.

Seahawks running backs Chris Carson and Carlos Hyde up and running

Seattle Seahawks running backs Chris Carson and Carlos Hyde are both running; coach Pete Carroll is hopeful they can play the Rams Week 10.

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.

Seahawks running backs still banged up heading into Week 9

Seattle Seahawks Seahawks running backs Chris Carson, Carlos Hyde and Travis Homer are still banged up heading into Week 9 against the Bills.

The Seattle Seahawks were quite thin at running back Sunday but still found a way to eke out a win against the San Francisco 49ers. Starter Chris Carson (foot) and Carlos Hyde (hamstring) were both inactive and remain uncertain for Week 9 in Buffalo.

“Chris has got a sore foot,” coach Pete Carroll said Monday morning on 710 ESPN Seattle. “He’s got something going on in his foot that he’s got to get through. He feels a lot better today already. We just won’t know. We can’t tell.”

As for Hyde, the hamstring injury could very well sideline him for another week as well.

“Hamstrings usually take 10 days or something like that anyway, so we’ll see,” Carroll explained. “We won’t know until late in the week. If he overcame it late the last day or so, maybe something could have happened for the last game. It’s going to be the same way.”

Travis Homer, who ended up playing a couple of snaps against San Francisco with a knee bruise, should be back in action this Sunday.

“The fact that he made it out there – and he might be a little more sore today – he made it out there and played, so he should be ready to give us some firepower,” Carroll said.

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.

Seahawks banged up at running back heading into Week 8

The Seattle Seahawks are banged up at the running back position with numerous injuries heading into Week 8 against the San Francisco 49ers.

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.

Report: Michael Thomas suffered Grade 1 hamstring strain, return vs. Bears in jeopardy

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas was diagnosed with a Grade 1 hamstring strain, putting his future availability in doubt.

[sendtonews_embed video_id=”HahXgC9pxC-1012922-7498″]

A new report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter detailed the hamstring injury sustained by New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas in practice last week, explaining that an MRI found Thomas suffered a Grade 1 strain — the mildest of possible grades, which is good news for the superstar receiver in the long term.

In the short term, however, this puts serious doubt on whether Thomas can suit up for Week 8’s road game with the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field. He has already been ruled out for Week 7’s matchup against the Carolina Panthers, and Grade 1 hamstring strains typically require three weeks of rest. But he’ll likely make every effort to return to action as soon as his body allows.

New Orleans could certainly use his help. Saints coach Sean Payton said Friday that No. 2 wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders was place on the COVID-19 reserve list after reporting symptoms and testing positive for infection, so he must self-quarantine away from the team for 10 days; that means if he does return for the Bears game, it would be on the 11th day, with no practice time to prepare him.

And that’s assuming his condition does not linger or worsen. Dwayne Washington, a backup running back for the Saints, was out of action for 18 days while recovering from the coronavirus earlier this season. Here’s hoping Sanders escapes anything serious.

So Thomas is definitely feeling the pressure. For now, though, he’s doing his best to channel that energy into cheering on his friends and teammates:
