Whether Thomas Rawls plays Sunday against the 49ers may still be in question after the running back was listed as not participating in practice on Wednesday.
Rawls is working to get back from a strain suffered when he was kicked in the shin last Sunday at Los Angeles.
But when Rawls does return, the Seahawks want him also get back to being the runner he was a year ago when he rushed for 830 yards and averaged 5.6 yards per carry.
So far this year Rawls has 25 yards on 19 carries, 1.3 per attempt.
And while the blocking has at times been to blame, coach Pete Carroll, offensive line coach Tom Cable and offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell each said Wednesday that Rawls also bears some of the burden.
