receivers, and tight ends slated to workout. Defensive lineman and linebackers

InterviewsAs a bevy of talented individuals hit the field in Lucas Oil Stadium
today, here are a few that catch my eye:Ole Miss Rebels WR D.K. MetcalfMetcalf
is a monstrosity of a man who was measured in at 6’3” 3/8, 228 lbs, and 1.6%
body fat (which likely isn’t totally accurate). Not only that, but he already
threw up 27 bench press reps. Metcalf is the #1 wide receiver for most in the
media, so it’ll be interesting to see what kind of freakish numbers he can throw
up in the remaining drills at the combine.Ohio State Buckeyes QB Dwayne
HaskinsThe battle for the QB1 spot has decidedly narrowed to Dwayne Haskins and
Oklahoma Sooners QB Kyler Murray, though Murray has already stated on record
that he wont perform in any drill at the combine today. Haskins has a shot to
impress (though it should be taken with a grain of salt) in the on-field drills.
Timing will obviously be an issue as these QB’s have never practiced with the
receivers
Robert
Woods Jersey , but there’s something to be said about a guy willing to go
out there and compete regardless.Iowa Hawkeyes TE Noah FantFant is your
prototypical “move” tight end in today’s NFL, so he should test relatively well.
Will it be enough to edge out his teammate in T.J. Hockenson for the top tight
end spot in the draft? We’ll see. It's become clear through the first half of
this season the Seattle Seahawks offense functions best when running back Chris
Carson is getting the bulk of the carries.Yet it's also becoming clear that
Carson may be a spectator on Sunday when the Seahawks face the Los Angeles Rams
as he deals with a hip injury that could keep him sidelined for the second time
this season.Seattle coach Pete Carroll said Wednesday that Carson would not
practice and his status for Sunday's NFC West matchup was uncertain. Carson
started last Sunday's 25-17 loss to the Chargers and averaged 5.0 yards per
carry, but did not play the final 2陆 quarters after a lingering hip issue flared
up.While there is a chance Carson could be ready by Sunday, the Seahawks (4-4)
also turn around and play a Thursday night game against Green Bay next week. And
playing Carson on Sunday may make him unavailable against the Packers, which
could end up being a more important game for Seattle's playoff hopes."The soft
tissue thing is kind of hanging with him a little bit," Carroll said of Carson.
"This hip thing is still kind of there and we've got to wait and see how it
comes out at the end of the week."Carson has shown he's the best option as
Seattle's primary running back when he is healthy. In the four games Carson has
carried the ball at least 14 times this season, he's averaging 4.2 yards per
carry, 95.5 yards per game and the Seahawks are 3-1 in those four games.In the
three games where Carson has carried the ball fewer than 14 times either because
of injury or game plan, the Seahawks are winless.If Carson can't play against

Mike Davis would likely get the bulk of the work at running back with a bigger
role for rookie first-round pick Rashaad Penny as well."We've got plenty of guys
we can go to," Carroll said. "We don't have to just rely on one guy right
now."Davis has shown an ability to be the primary ball carrier for the Seahawks,
running for 101 yards on 21 carries in Seattle's Week 4 victory over Arizona
when Carson was out because of an unrelated groin injury. Davis had 62 yards on
15 carries last week carrying the bulk of the running after Carson was unable to
continue."It's like I do every week, prepare that I'm going to be the starter so
if it does come up I don't get blindsided," Davis said.Davis has proven he can
handle the load. The same can't be said of Penny, who has just 42 carries for
146 yards through eight games. In the first couple of weeks, Seattle made it a
priority to force Penny into the game and get him some action. After they
realized that wasn't working, Penny disappeared for a couple of weeks before
slowly being reintegrated to the offense.Last week Penny had just four carries,
but may see that number increase significantly if Carson can't play."We've just
got to get him out there. He just needs more
turns

versatile in the throwing game and all the styles of runs, really good at it and
very effective. We're just going with what looks right. It has nothing to do
with where you got picked or where you came from for the opportunities to
present itself for the guys to show what they can do."Whoever is carrying the
ball, the Seahawks will want to replicate the success they had from the first
meeting with the Rams. Seattle rushed for a season-high 190 yards in the 33-31
loss, the most allowed by Los Angeles this season. But Carson was a big part of
that success, running for 116 yards.Davis expects the Rams to make changes, but
also believes in his offensive line."We know what our guys can do up front and
they're killing it. I have no doubt," Davis said.NOTES: G D.J. Fluker didn't
finish last week's game with a calf injury and sat out practice on Wednesday.
Carroll said Fluker was a little more sore on Wednesday than he was earlier in
the week. ... S Bradley McDougald also didn't practice with a knee injury that
kept him out the second half against the Chargers. Delano Hill would start if
McDougald can't play.
