The #Seahawks move to waive Christine Michael has nothing to do with an off-the-field issue. Football decision. Thomas Rawls is better

Thomas Rawls is returning this week from a fibula injury he suffered in Week 2 of the season. He is expected to take over the starting role, with emerging rookie C.J. Prosise serving as the backup.
Michael has rushed for 469 yards and six touchdowns on 117 carries. As a rookie last year, Rawls ran for 830 yards and four touchdowns on 147 carries.
