What should the Seahawks do now with C.J. Prosise?

For a very long time, when you thought of Seahawks running back CJ Prosise, it was mainly his injuries, his many body parts and his so different parts that it was hard to keep track of what they were.

Take-Out Seahawks: First look at Seattle's talented LB trio

Since being selected in the third round in 2016, Prosise has played only 16 of the 48 games in the Seahawks regular season. Two of them distinguished themselves from their rookie season – in a win on Sunday night in New England, Prosise had 66 yards and 87 yards on receivers, then ran a 72-yard run against Philadelphia. following week.

But he suffered an end-of-season injury in the Eagles game and has not had much news in the last two years. His injuries also derailed his second and third seasons.

Prosise has become a joke in Seattle for his inability to stay healthy. Some question his tenacity, but is it really his fault? Maybe he is fragile or maybe he just gets unlucky.

What one can not ask is that he is good when he is in good health. And we saw more evidence of this Saturday night in the Seahawks' 23-15 win over the Chargers. Prosise had 32 yards in five races and was second in the quarter with consecutive catches of 9, 8 and 7 yards. Then he culminated with a touch of 1 meter.

He did not look better than the starter, Chris Carson, but he surpassed all the other halves, including Rashaad Penny, who had a good night out but did not look as good as Prosise. More Prosise is only 25 years old and he still has several years in the strength of the school.

Prosise was only on the field 12 times Saturday night. Maybe Pete Carroll had seen enough to know what he had in Prosise, reviving those memories of three years ago, even though it was only about 39, a preparatory game. Or maybe Carroll did not want to risk a 13th play in which Prosise would have suffered his 18th injury and would never have been seen in a Seahawk uniform.

Given his history, it is impossible to trust Prosise, but because of his obvious talent, it is also impossible to abandon him. I would roll the dice and put it on my list of 53 players. Then I would roll the dice a bit more and make him the main backup of Carson and turn Penny into third.

And if I lost Prosise after another injury, I'd like to say I'd better replace Penny. That's what I would do if I were Carroll anyway. If I called it, I would replace it with J.D. McKissic, a personal favorite and player who, in my opinion, would change Carson's pace better than Penny's.

Whatever the reason, we'll see once the season starts, but for the moment, a supposedly meaningless match in August was telling us that Prosise can still be an asset to the Seahawks.
