Starting running back Chris Carson has been out since the conclusion of Week 4 with a neck injury.
Field Gulls had earlier reported that the Seahawks had designated Carson to return to practice, but had yet to formally indicate that he could play this weekend.
Meanwhile, rookie wide receiver Dee Eskridge may be even closer.
of course, he needs to get through the practice week OK.
Eskridge was sidelined in the Week 1 win over the Colts, and the concussion has kept him off the field since then.
