The Seattle Seahawks have managed to climb to the top of the NFC West without much of a contribution from running back Thomas Rawls, but he could be ready to make an impact for them in the final stretch of the season.
Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said on Saturday that Rawls, who has already been ruled out for Week 9 against the Buffalo Bills, could return to practice in Week 10 and play in Week 11 against the Philadelphia Eagles, per Stephen Cohen of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
Carroll: RB Thomas Rawls could return to practice next week, perhaps play week after that.

Rawls, 23, has been out since September with a fibula injury and has only appeared in two games this season, logging 66 total yards and zero touchdowns. Christine Michael has done the heavy lifting in Rawls’ absence, racking up 446 yards and five touchdowns on the ground in seven games.
The Seattle offense has been quite inconsistent on a week-to-week basis this season, so Rawls’ eventual return should at least give them some sort of boost moving forward.
