Besides Chris Carson, Mike Davis was the only other Seahawks running back worth a flip in 2017. And Davis started on the practice squad for the first nine weeks of the year. I am not a coach, but if I saw Eddie Lacy and Thomas Rawls’ struggling so much so early and then watched the way Davis played when coming off the practice squad…Well, I might feel guilty that I had made a poor decision in putting him there in the first place.
In 2018, Davis will most definitely be on the active roster week one (unless he gets injured in preseason, of course).
