The Seattle Seahawks were quite thin at running back Sunday but still found a way to eke out a win against the San Francisco 49ers. Starter Chris Carson (foot) and Carlos Hyde (hamstring) were both inactive and remain uncertain for Week 9 in Buffalo.
“Chris has got a sore foot,” coach Pete Carroll said Monday morning on 710 ESPN Seattle. “He’s got something going on in his foot that he’s got to get through. He feels a lot better today already. We just won’t know. We can’t tell.”
As for Hyde, the hamstring injury could very well sideline him for another week as well.
“Hamstrings usually take 10 days or something like that anyway, so we’ll see,” Carroll explained. “We won’t know until late in the week. If he overcame it late the last day or so, maybe something could have happened for the last game. It’s going to be the same way.”
Travis Homer, who ended up playing a couple of snaps against San Francisco with a knee bruise, should be back in action this Sunday.
“The fact that he made it out there – and he might be a little more sore today – he made it out there and played, so he should be ready to give us some firepower,” Carroll said.
The banged-up running backs and the rest of the Seahawks have a break until practice resumes on Wednesday.
