The Seattle Seahawks took a number of hits to their run game in 2019, losing starter Chris Carson, Rashaad Penny and C.J. Prosise to season-ending injuries late in the year.
Carson suffered a minor hip fracture but is expected to make a full recovery in time for the start of the season.
“Chris is doing really well,” coach Pete Carroll said Tuesday during his press conference at the scouting combine. “There’s not a lot Chris can do, so he hasn’t done very many things wrong. It’s an injury that just takes time. It’s serious in that it’s a hip but it’s not serious in that we know what is going to happen.”
Carroll said Carson has done everything he was supposed to do so far and the hope now is that he doesn’t “overdo” it and rush the process.
“We are counting on a full recovery and he should be ready to go,” Carroll said.
Running back Rashaad Penny, however, might not be so lucky and is likely a candidate for the PUP list as a result of his knee injury.
