The Seattle Seahawks suffered a devasting loss to the Arizona Cardinals Week 16 but even more disappointing is the injuries to the running backs as the team continues its push for the division crown.
Both starter Chris Carson and backup C.J. Prosise suffered potential season-ending injuries Sunday afternoon. Carson sustained some damage to his hip and Prosise broke his arm.
“We did get both our running backs banged up today – Chris and C.J. both got hurt,” coach Pete Carroll said in his postgame press conference. “They are out. We’ve got to get to scambling and Johnny’s (Schneider) got to get to work and figure out what we’re doing next. It’s a lot of game for (Travis) Homer to have to play by himself.
“So we’ll make some moves here and figure stuff out.”
As of now, Homer remains the only healthy running back on the Seahawks’ active roster. Seattle could call up Xavier Turner from the practice squad but will likely attempt to sign a veteran or two to add some depth to the incredibly depleted position.
This story is continuing to develop.
