With Travis Homer (knee) healthier and Alex Collins active, DeeJay Dallas role was slashed severely:

* 31% of the snaps
* 46% of the RB carries
* 2 targets on 41 Russ pass attempts

The Seahawks trailed most of the game so it's possible the team didn't trust the rookie Dallas in a lot of passing situations. Dallas did rush for a TD but Homer saw three catches for 64 yards with a 6-16-0 rushing line. Dallas' rush line was 7-31-1. Even if Carson and Hyde miss Week 10, it may not be fair to assume Dallas sees a big workload. The Seahawks are at the Rams in Week 10.

Seahawks RBs Chris Carson and Carlos Hyde will not play Week 9 against the Buffalo Bills, according to their official injury report.

Seattle will be without their top two backs for a second consecutive week. Look for DeeJay Dallas to lead the backfield with Homer as the change of pace back.

Seahawks RBs Chris Carson and Travis Homer are questionable for Week 8 against the San Francisco 49ers, according to the team's injury report.

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.

Colts head coach Frank Reich told reporters that no decision has been made about activating WR Michael Pittman from IR. Reich will watch Friday's practice tape and have meetings before making a decision, according to George Bremer of The Herald Bulletin.

Pittman suffered a scary leg injury and has recovered to the point where he could command snaps during his breakout earlier in the season. Pittman's return would cap Marcus Johnson's snap total the most, but he would take work from each receiver.

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.
