The situation, minutes before kickoff vs. Carolina last night:
Thomas Rawls, he of the putrescent 2.7 yards per carry, has missed half the season. Russell Wilson, who has sustained injuries to both his legs already, has only recently regained his usual mobility.
Christine Michael, still the team’s leading rusher by a margin of 297 yards, is unavailable for reasons of being a Green Bay Packer. He hasn’t worn Seahawk colors for three weeks. C.J. Prosise, known murderer of Patriots and Eagles, may well return, a la 2013 Percy Harvin, for the playoffs, but at the moment he’s out for an indeterminate amount of time.
