RENTON — Coach Pete Carroll on Wednesday again publicly stood by running back Chris Carson in the wake of his third fumble in three games in Sunday’s loss to the New Orleans Saints.
But events later in the day also indicated that Seattle may have little other choice but to continue to ride with Carson this Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals.
After Carroll said during his weekly press conference Wednesday that second-year running back Rashaad Penny is “going to practice today’’ Penny instead was listed as one of four players who sat out, still bothered by a hamstring injury suffered in practice last Friday.
