The Seattle Seahawks are not sure what the future holds for them. This came after Marshawn Lynch’s retirement. However, Thomas Rawls is ready to take his place; he said that Rehab was going phenomenal. He said that in front of reporters shortly before Richard Sherman’s charity softball game held in Seattle and supported by ESPN. He is eager to start off during the first one week. He also announced that he had been working pretty hard to fill the vacant space in the backfield since Rehab session was becoming quite an exception. Rawls’s who is a second- year back is recovering from a fractured ankle and ligament injury that occurred in December 13th.
The injury occurred while he was playing against Baltimore Ravens which led to a 35-6 win. He did not take part in any of the Seahawks’ spring practices. Rawls also had amazing confidence in how his body healed and the way it responded to rehab. He was willing to be back to camp in April but his trainers were not quite sure whether it would be possible to be back that soon especially since the April is drawing closer. According to Peter Carroll’s statement last month, Rawls is expected to be ready at the start of the season but they are not going to rush him during the summer season. Early in May Carroll added that they would take it easy during the training camp. They were ready to help him in his healing process no matter how long it would take him.
Replacing Lynch is not going unnoticed in Seattle according to Rawls’ comments. Rawls has handled 830 yards and four touchdowns as a recruit in the beginning of the seven games while at the same time splitting carries with a banged-up Lynch. He proved that he could handle himself well in 2015 thus proving that he could easily be Seahawk’s main ball carrier if he comes out healthy. C.J Prosise, Zac Brooks and Alex Collins has been put down in 2016 even though the staff is not very worried thus choosing to show aggression in the running backs. Christine Michael was also among the potential candidates available to replace Lynch.
