Carson (foot) was a limited practice participant Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Seahawks are managing Carson's reps following his return from a four-game absence due to a mid-foot sprain. Elsewhere in the backfield, Carlos Hyde (toe) and Travis Homer (wrist/thumb/knee) didn't practice at all Thursday. Hyde (17 touches, 61 percent of the offensive snaps) got more work than Carson (10, 37) on Monday against the Eagles, but that breakdown may flip if this week's activity levels for both are maintained.

Carson (foot) was listed as limited on Wednesday's practice report, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
In his return from a four-game absence this past Monday at Philadelphia, Carson logged 37 percent of the snaps on offense on his way to 10 touches for 59 yards from scrimmage and one touchdown. Meanwhile, Carlos Hyde played 61 percent of those plays, totaling 29 yards on his 17 touches. On Wednesday, Carson told Joe Fann of NBC Sports Northwest that he emerged from the contest "a little sore," which was evident in his limited listing at practice. Both Carson and Hyde (toe) were restricted to begin Week 13 prep, so their statuses will be something to watch as Sunday's game against the Giants approaches.

Carson rushed eight times for 41 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 23-17 win over the Eagles. He also caught both of his targets for 18 yards.
EDGE Analysis
Carson missed Seattle's last four games while nursing a foot injury, and although Carlos Hyde still led the Seahawks with 15 carries Monday, it was Carson who powered in a 16-yard touchdown during the second quarter. That play coupled with the fact Hyde managed merely 22 rushing yards bodes well for Carson earning more snaps as he continues to reacclimate to the lineup. In fact, through seven games played this season, Carson now sports seven total touchdowns. Although his Week 13 matchup comes against a Giants defense that's surrendered under 4.0 yards per carry thus far, Carson's tough running style could help break down that resistance, especially when considering he's now averaging nearly 5.0 yards per rush himself.

Carson (foot) was not listed on the team's final injury report heading into Monday's contest against the Eagles, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.
EDGE Analysis
As a result, Carson is set to play in the prime-time matchup against the Eagles. The 26-year-old missed the previous four games with a mid-foot sprain. Expect Carlos Hyde to operate strictly as the backup behind Carson, with DeeJay Dallas perhaps factoring in as a pass-catching specialist after Travis Homer (knee) was ruled out.

Carson (foot) was a limited practice participant Friday, Joe Fann of NBC Sports Northwest reports.
EDGE Analysis
For a second consecutive day, Carson was listed in a similar fashion, only the Seahawks took the practice field Friday. He appears to be putting himself in a position to play for the first time since Week 7, but the team may continue to be cautious with Carson as he recovers from a mid-foot sprain. Saturday's injury report could provide some clarity on Carson's status as the Seahawks get closer to Monday's game at Philadelphia.

Carson (foot) was listed as limited on Thursday's estimated injury report, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Carson appeared to be going full speed at Tuesday's session, but the fourth-year running back would have had a cap on his reps if the Seahawks had held practice Thursday. Fortunately for Carson, he has two more opportunities to prove the health of his foot in advance of Monday's contest at Philadelphia. If he does, it'll mark Carson's first appearance since Week 7.

Carson (foot) looked to be a full participant in the open portion Tuesday's practice, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Seahawks won't release their first official injury report until Thursday, but if his activity Tuesday is any indication, Carson will begin Week 12 prep with no limitations. That bodes well for Carson's chances to put an end to his four-game absence Monday in Philadelphia, where he would likely step back into a clear lead role out of the Seattle backfield. Prior to going down with the sprained foot, Carson had started in each of the Seahawks' first six contests, averaging 14.6 touches, 78.3 total yards and one touchdown per game over that stretch.

Coach Pete Carroll said Thursday that Hyde (foot) will suit up against the Eagles on Nov. 30 "unless there's a setback," Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Carson has missed four straight games due to his lingering foot injury, but it sounds as though he'll be back in action when Seattle next takes the field. It doesn't hurt that the starting running back will get a few extra days of recovery either, as the Seahawks are coming off a Thursday night contest and are next scheduled to play on a Monday.

Carson (foot) is inactive for Thursday's game against the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Carson seemed to be setting himself up for a return with limited listings on the first two injury reports of Week 11 prep. However, he didn't practice at all Wednesday and was tagged with a questionable designation. Clearly, Carson hasn't recovered from the mid-foot sprain he suffered Week 7 and will miss a fourth consecutive contest. With both Carson and Travis Homer (knee) sidelined, the Seahawks will roll with a backfield composed of Carlos Hyde, DeeJay Dallas and practice-squad callup Bo Scarbrough.

Carson (foot), who is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Cardinals, isn't expected to play, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
After missing the Seahawks' last three games due to a sprained foot, Carson appeared to take a positive step forward in his recovery by being listed as a limited participant on the practice reports Seattle released Monday and Tuesday. Though coach Pete Carroll suggested that Carson is being viewed as a game-time decision heading into Thursday's contest, the running back's chances of playing seemingly took a hit Wednesday after he went down as a non-participant in Seattle's final Week 11 practice. Pelissero notes that Carson feels as though he's ready to play, but barring a change of heart, Seattle believes that the 26-year-old will be better served resting up again with a longer turnaround for the team's next game (Nov. 30 in Philadelphia). With Travis Homer (knee/wrist/thumb) listed as doubtful for the contest, Carlos Hyde looks like the top candidate to lead Seattle's ground game, with DeeJay Dallas on hand in a change-of-pace role.
