Seahawks RB Chris Carson has been cleared to play Week 4 against the Miami Dolphins, according to Liz Mathews of The Seahawks Wire. “Chris Carson had an excellent week, practiced today and yesterday . . . and was able to really show he was ready,” coach Pete Carroll told KIRO’s Dori Monson on Friday morning. “He just bounced right back so we’re really happy about that.”

The injury looked much worse than it appears to have been, or Carson is superhuman. Carson is a must-start against a bad Dolphins defense in a game with an Over/Under of 54.

Chris Carson returned to the team late last week and took part in Sunday’s mock game. He got a heavy dose of work with Carlos Hyde and Travis Homer sitting out and head coach Pete Carroll raved about Carson after the scrimmage was done.

“Chris has got fresh legs . . . He looks great,” Carroll said, via Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times. “He hasn’t had a snap out here that he didn’t look good. So we don’t have any hesitation with Chris at all. He’s ready to go.”

Carson posted 1,230 yards on 278 carries last season and scored nine overall touchdowns before missing the season finale and both playoff games. Carson finished as last year’s No. 11 running back (half-PPR). His per game average was the 12th-highest at his position. He's ranked 16th on our RB list heading into drafts.

Running back Marshawn Lynch and the Seattle Seahawks agreed to a deal on Monday, Lynch's agent announced.

Lynch's contract is for this season only - Week 17 against the San Francisco 49ers and the postseason, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter. The team signed Turbin earlier on Monday. From a fantasy perspective, Homer should get most of the work in this committee as both Lynch and Turbin are stepping into a tough Week 17 matchup vs. the 49ers.

The Seahawks signed RB Robert Turbin.

Sources continue to say a deal with Lynch is getting closer too, and reports all day said the team was going to bring in two running backs. It still looks like Homer will be the main ball carrier.

Marshawn Lynch and the #Seahawks are open to a reunion, and Lynch has told people he plans to travel to Seattle today to discuss it, sources tell me.

The team is also scheduled to work out Turbin. Right now, Homer is the lone healthy back on the team and should get a chance to carry the load, but it's in a tough Week 17 matchup against the 49ers. The word is the Seahawks plan to sign two RBs and it's likely they jump right into playing time.

The Seahawks fear that running back Chris Carson suffered a season-ending hip injury Sunday, a massive blow as they head into next week's NFC West showdown with the San Francisco 49ers and then the playoffs.

Carson was injured in the second quarter of a 27-13 loss to the Arizona Cardinals in which the Seahawks also lost his backup, C.J. Prosise, to a season-ending broken arm.

Homer is now the lone healthy back on the team and is expected to get a feature role going forward. The team will have to make a move for an RB who will likely get snaps as well. Homer is a rookie sixth round pick who had just two carries entering Sunday.
