The Seattle Seahawks were relieved to have their starting running back, Chris Carson, on the field Week 4 to assist in the team’s win over the Miami Dolphins. Seattle was without backup Carlos Hyde, however, who was inactive Sunday due to a shoulder injury despite participating throughout the week.
“Carlos was able to practice all of last week because we had him in red shirt so he wouldn’t get banged on the shoulder,” coach Pete Carroll told reporters during his press conference on Monday. “So he looked fine all week long, but it got to the weekend, it just wasn’t feeling strong enough to go ahead and go.”
Carroll could not confirm whether or not Hyde would be ready to face the Vikings Sunday night, instead, plans to wait and see until the end of the week.
“We’ll just go at it again this week and take the same approach,” Carroll said. “He’ll be able to practice this week, which is great. He’s not going to lose a step or anything, but we’ll have to wait and see. That could be one of those ones that if we just wait one more week, then we get the whole other bonus week in there, we’ll have to see.”
The Seahawks have a bye following the Minnesota matchup, giving everyone some extra time to recover before Seattle enters the second half of its season.
