After sitting out four games with a sprained foot, running back Chris Carson made his return to the field Monday, and while it was a quieter outing compared to his performance before his injury, he cemented his status at the top of the depth chart.
Carson posted 41 yards and a touchdown on eight carries while adding 18 yards on two receptions in Seattle's 23-16 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles.
The 26-year-old had averaged 53.8 rushing yards in the six games he played this season, and before he left a Week 6 contest with 34 yards, he had posted four consecutive games of at least 50 yards.
