The Seattle Seahawks now have their starting running back back on the field at the Virginia Mason Athletic Center. Chris Carson had been absent over the last few weeks as he attended to matters in Georgia following the death of a family member.
“Chris has got some family stuff going on that he’s had to take care of,” coach Pete Carroll told reporters last Wednesday. “Our hearts go out to Chris. He’s going through some really big stuff with family members that he is looking after and taking care of. He’s fine, and all that. It has nothing to do with Chris personally, physically or anything. But he has to do this, at this time, right now.”
With Carson out for a number of days and backup Rashaad Penny on the Physically Unable to Perform list, Travis Homer, Carlos Hyde and DeeJay Dallas got some much-needed reps with the rest of the offense.
Carson is back just in time for Monday’s session when he can join the rest of his teammates for the first fully-padded practice of the summer.
