The return of Thomas Rawls from the PUP (Physically Unable to Perform) list and the emergence of rookie Alex Collins lead to one inevitable question — what happens now with Christine Michael?
For the moment, probably nothing. Michael has been the No. 1 tailback throughout the off-season program and training camp, and with Rawls likely to be eased into action — and potentially not playing much if at all in the pre-season — Michael could stay there.
And to hear Seattle coaches tell it, Michael has a role on this year’s team regardless of what happens around him at the tailback spot.
