Carson rushed 15 times for 63 yards and caught two of three targets for six yards in Sunday's 20-15 win over Washington.
EDGE Analysis
While Rashaad Penny did return from last year's torn ACL in this contest, Carson was the clear lead back once again, handling 15 of the 18 backfield carries. The fourth-year running back finished with more than 60 rushing yards for a third straight game, but he didn't get any goal-line chances and failed to find the end zone as a result. Penny won't push Carson for a starting role anytime soon, so the latter should handle his typical workload in a Week 16 clash against the Rams.

Carson (foot) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Washington, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Carson's availability was never in doubt. The Seahawks have been managing his reps since he returned from a four-week absence, with their caution also extending to in-game situations when the outcome has already been decided. Carson's 45 percent snap share during the Week 14 win over the Jets is a bit deceiving; he handled 11 touches and 71 percent of snaps in the first half of the contest before sitting out most of the second half while Seattle sat on an insurmountable lead.

Carson (foot) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Carson maintained his activity level from Wednesday, while fellow running back Carlos Hyde (toe) bumped from limited to full. There isn't much worry about Carson's Week 15 availability, as he's regularly been limited on Seahawks injury reports before each of the last three contests. Assuming both Carson and Hyde are active Sunday in Washington, the former likely will take on a similar workload from the aforementioned three-game stretch, in which he averaged 13.7 touches for 89 yards from scrimmage per game while scoring three TDs.

Carson (foot) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
It has been standard procedure for Carson and Carlos Hyde (toe) to be limited during the practice week. They've both played in each of the last three games, handling nearly all of the backfield reps in that stretch. It's nevertheless worth keeping an eye out for a setback in his practice capacity over the next two sessions. If given the green light for Sunday's game against Washington, Carson is expected to lead the backfield. Over the past two outings, he has churned out 208 yards from scrimmage and two total touchdowns.

Carson carried the ball 12 times for 76 yards and a touchdown and caught three of five targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 40-3 win over the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
He fell just shy of reaching 100 scrimmage yards for the fourth time this season, and Carson almost certainly would have gotten there in a more competitive game, as Carlos Hyde saw plenty of work in the second half in his place. Carson will likely see a bigger share of the backfield touches in Week 15's road clash with a Washington squad that should put up more of a fight.

Carson (foot) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Jets, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
After playing just 37 percent of snaps in his first game back from the foot injury, Carson bumped up to 58 percent snap share and 110 total yards in last week's 17-12 loss to the Giants. He'll lead the Seattle backfield again, with Carlos Hyde mixing in for some carries and DeeJay Dallas potentially taking a few third-down snaps.

Carson (foot) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Both Carson and Carlos Hyde (toe) maintained their activity levels for a second consecutive session. There doesn't seem to be much worry about the availability of either running back, but Friday's injury report could have the final say on their statuses. If the Seahawks operate with a similar breakdown of the backfield Sunday against the Jets as they did Week 13, Carson should hover around 60 percent of the offensive snaps, with Hyde and DeeJay Dallas handling the rest of them. During this past Sunday's loss to the Giants, Carson churned out 110 yards from scrimmage and one TD on 16 touches.

Carson (foot) was limited in practice Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Seattle capped the reps of both Carson and Carlos Hyde (toe) to begin Week 14 prep as they put their respective injuries further in the rear-view mirror. During this past Sunday's loss to the Giants, Carson received a typical offensive snap share (58 percent), which he parlayed into 16 touches for 110 yards and one TD. Behind him, Hyde (25 percent, five touches) and DeeJay Dallas (17, two) split the rest of the backfield reps with Travis Homer (knee) still sidelined. Expect a similar breakdown Sunday versus the Jets as long as the status quo holds.

Carson rushed the ball 13 times for 65 yards in Week 13 against the Giants. He added three receptions for 45 yards and a touchdown.
EDGE Analysis
Carson saw an increased workload in his second game back from a foot injury, increasing his touch total from 10 to 16. He out-carried Carlos Hyde 13-2 and ripped off three 11-yard rushes to average five yards per carry. Despite the relatively strong work on the ground, Carson's best production came as a receiver when he found the end zone on a 28-yard touchdown midway through the fourth quarter. Moving forward, both volume and matchup should be on Carson's side in a Week 14 matchup against the Jets.

Carson (foot) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's contest against the Giants, Joe Fann of NBC Sports Northwest reports.
EDGE Analysis
In the aftermath of his first appearance since Week 7, Carson turned 10 touches into 59 yards from scrimmage and one touchdown Monday at Philadelphia. He proceeded to log limited sessions Wednesday and Thursday, but whatever he was able to do Friday, Carson managed to emerge from Week 13 prep sans a designation. With Carlos Hyde (toe) questionable to play this weekend and Travis Homer (wrist/thumb/knee) ruled out, Carson has a great chance to retake the reins as the head of the Seahawks backfield.
