The Seahawks have officially placed Chris Carson on injured reserve. The move was expected after the running back suffered a broken leg in Sunday’s game. 
Carson was carter off the field in the fourth quarter and had an air cast applied to his left leg, an indication that the injury was serious. In theory, Carson will be eligible to return from IR after eight weeks on the sidelines, but his timetable for recovery is not yet clear. While he’s out, it’s expected that Thomas Rawls will be Seattle’s lead running back with Eddie Lacy, C.J. Prosise, and J.D. McKissic in support.
Carson seized the starting gig two games into his the season, leapfrogging both Rawls and Lacy. Prior to the injury, he was averaging a solid 4.2 yards per carry.
