Pete Carroll: Thomas Rawls, Eddie Lacy have 'equal status' in backfield

RENTON, Wash. -- Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Rams offered the first indication of how the Seattle Seahawks plan to proceed at running back after losing rookie Chris Carson to injury.

It looks and sounds like they will now rely equally on Thomas Rawls and Eddie Lacy as opposed to one of them taking over the way Carson did when he started the first four games and was the clear-cut No. 1 option in the Seahawks' backfield. Rawls and Lacy shared the workload fairly evenly Sunday. Coach Pete Carroll didn't say it in so many words, but his comments suggested they will continue to do so going forward.
