RENTON Thomas Rawls is coming back.
Will he help the Seahawks’ needy running game?
Coach Pete Carroll said before Wednesday’s practice the team expects Rawls, out since Aug. 13 with a high-ankle sprain, to play Sunday in the home opener against San Francisco (0-1) at CenturyLink Field.
“I think he will,” Carroll said. “He has to make it through every day of practice...So we’ll do it one day at a time. But he looks to be prepared to go, so that’s what we are counting on--until we can’t.”
Rawls was a full participant in practices Wednesday, Thursday and Friday last week, indicating he’d be able to play in the opener at Green Bay.
