Report: Carson ‘true 50-50’ to play in 49ers-Seahawks game
The Seattle Seahawks could be without a key player to their offense Sunday against the 49ers.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Saturday night that running back Chris Carson is “a true 50-50” to play against the 49ers. He’s dealing with a foot injury that forced him out early last week against the Arizona Cardinals.
Carson has rushed for 323 yards on 66 carries this season. He’s averaging 4.9 yards per carry and has scored six total touchdowns in six games. Seattle’s leading ball carrier also has rushed for over 1,000 yards the past two seasons.
Losing Carson would be a big blow to the Seahawks’ offense. Backup running backs Carlos Hyde and Travis Homer also are seen as game-time decisions for Seattle. Sunday would be a big revenge game for Hyde, too.

Carson has played four games in his career against the 49ers. He has 370 yards on the ground and two touchdowns.
