What kind of game Seattle’s preseason opener against Denver was became apparent midway through the third quarter when the Seahawks took the field with Xavier Turner as their running back.
If you’re asking who that is, many of the Seahawks themselves may have wondered the same thing.
Turner signed Wednesday to help out an injury-depleted tailback position. When yet another injury happened — this one to Bo Scarbrough — and with Seattle not wanting to use Chris Carson while limiting Rashaad Penny’s carries, Turner strapped on his helmet and entered the huddle, having never before participated in a practice for Seattle.
