Seahawks mailbag: Can C.J. Prosise contribute in 2018? And which position group is the biggest question mark?

Questions about the most vulnerable position groups and star-crossed third-year tailback C.J. Prosise in the latest mailbag.

A: Two questions about Prosise, that can probably be dealt with in one answer.

As for the first question, the Seahawks have had no choice but to take Prosise’s injury history into account as they assembled this year’s roster — he has played just 11 of 32 regular season games and also missed both playoff games in his two years in Seattle.

That’s why they kept J.D. McKissic — who replaced Prosise as the third-down back last year — and then also added a running back in the draft they also think could be a good enough receiver to fill a similar role if needed in Rashaad Penny (granted, that’s not expected to be Penny’s primary role.
