Seahawks position overview: Injury uncertainties could have Seattle looking for running backs this offseason

No position on Seattle’s roster endured a rollercoaster in 2019 quite like the backfield.

A season that began with Chris Carson alternately looking like a budding superstar while serving as his own worst enemy while battling a bout of fumbleities (his four lost fumbles, three in the first three games, were the most for any running back in the NFL this season) ended with one of the most stunning stories of this or any Seahawks season, the return of Marshawn Lynch.

In between was the redemption of Carson and the emergence of Rashaad Penny, followed by season-ending injuries to each that led to Seattle playing in the post-season with an entirely different top three tailback trio than which it began the season.
