Carson playing would be a minor miracle after being deemed week-to-week earlier this week. Homer is expected to play based on comments from head coach Pete Carroll. One or both could see majority of the work this week if the other is out. DeeJay Dallas could also see a large chunk of work if the goal is to preserve either back.

Seahawks RB Carlos Hyde is doubtful for Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers, according to the team's injury report.

Hyde would have had an opportunity to be the lead back if healthy. If Carson cannot play, Travis Homer and DeeJay Dallas will be the Seahawks backs.

Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll told Dave Wyman on KIRO's morning show that RBs Chris Carson and Carlos Hyde will be game-time decisions against the San Francisco 49ers.

Carroll also said that Travis Homer will play, so the worst case scenario is the Seahawks are short their top two backs. Homer and Dallas will have value as members of the offensive juggernaut that is Seattle. The 49ers are also short many of their best defensive players in Week 8.

Veteran Carlos Hyde and rookie fourth-round pick DeeJay Dallas were their only available tailbacks by the end of Sunday night's game, after Chris Carson and Travis Homer went down hurt. But HC Pete Carroll is unsure of Hyde's status for this week due to tightness in his hamstring. The coach said Homer has a knee bruise and not an injury, adding, "So that's something he has a chance to recover from."

This will be an interesting situation heading into Week 8. COVID-19 protocols make it difficult for teams to adjust to injuries on the fly. Players must go through several days of testing before they're allowed to enter an NFL facility. That will make it impossible for the Seahawks to sign a free agent in time to reinforce their backfield for this week's home game against the San Francisco 49ers (4-3), unless that running back had already started or completed his testing, the story said. With Penny still on the PUP list and not likely to practice this week, it could mean Dallas is the only healthy option, unless Homer can recover from the knee bruise. Keep an eye on this situation, but right now it's not a clear as to who the main ball carrier will be.

Seahawks’ RB Chris Carson has a “midfoot sprain,” per Pete Carroll.

Carson will have an MRI to determine the extent of the injury and how much time he could miss, Schefter said. If Carson can't go, Hyde would get the start and likely a big workload in a tough matchup against the 49ers. Depending if Carson misses time and how much, guys like Homer and Dallas could also see work. Those who follow the team also seem to indicate they are saving Penny for an injury situation so it's possible if it's long term Penny could enter the picture. But for right now, Hyde is the guy to own.

Rashaad Penny officially going on PUP, as had been long expected. Carroll said today he won't report to Seahawks until Thursday.

Carson is expected to get his share of the workload again this year, but has had fumbling issues. The team signed Hyde in the offseason and drafted Dallas. Penny is expected to remain on PUP and miss at least the first six weeks of the season.
