Expect Russell Wilson and the rest of Seattle’s starters to get a quick series or two at Oakland Thursday night (with Thomas Rawls possibly being on the field with them) and then take to the sidelines for the rest of the night.
That’s the traditional course of action for the final preseason game of the year and the Seahawks won’t handle this one any differently.
So other than seeing if Rawls really gets a few plays — Carroll coyly said everyone would just have to wait and see — the real intrigue exists in watching the last chance for some players to compete for either a starting position or a spot on the roster.
