11 running backs now with claim of Mike Davis off waivers from 49ers

If you couldn’t already tell, the Seahawks aren’t relying on only Thomas Rawls and C.J. Prosise to stay healthy and anchor their running game in 2017.

Seattle claimed running back Mike Davis off waivers from San Francisco on Monday. The 24-year old was the 49ers’ fourth-round draft choice out of South Carolina in 2015. He is 5 feet 9, 217 pounds and had 54 carries in two seasons for the 49ers.

He becomes the 11th running back on the Seahawks’ roster.

The team drafted bullish Chris Carson from Oklahoma State in the seventh round this month, then re-signed fullback Brandon Cottom.
