J.D. McKissic has returned to practice for the Seattle Seahawks

Shaquem Griffin Color Rush Jersey , three months after breaking a bone in his foot in the preseason. The Seahawks now have three weeks to either activate McKissic, meaning they’ll need to make a corresponding transaction, or be forced to put him back on injured reserve for the rest of the year. The good news is that Seattle does not seem to need McKissic right now, so they could wait and see if an injury makes the decision that much more obvious, but what will they do if Chris Carson, Mike Davis, and Rashaad Penny all remain healthy?The most obvious player people are pointing at is running back C.J. Prosise, but he’s not the only option.McKissic carried it 46 times for 187 yards and caught 34 passes for 266 yards in 13 games last season. He’s never been used as a regularly-featured back however, putting up a career-high seven rush attempts in a game against his former team, the Atlanta Falcons Bradley McDougald Color Rush Jersey , last season. McKissic’s role if and when he does return seems to be as both a third-option back and receiver (he had the same number of targets (46) as he did rush attempts), as well as a player to consider using on kick returns. That being said, McKissic one career kickoff return, which came back in 2016.If Pete Carroll does believe that McKissic could do a better job on returns than Tyler Lockett (23.7 yards per), or at least a comparable job that spells Lockett from those duties, then his addition to the roster does become that much more valuable. Still, both McKissic and Prosise seem to do one thing better than most backs:Catch the ball. That’s because both are former receivers.McKissic caught 289 passes at Arkansas State, a conference record in the Sun Belt. Prosise played receiver during his first two seasons at Notre Dame. Taking that into consideration, note that Seattle has had issues over the last three years with staying healthy at running back and it may behoove them to not lose Prosise, a player who seems quite likely to be picked up off waivers should the Seahawks decide to part ways. (My prediction is that the New England Patriots would not let Prosise pass through.) So what else could they do?Well Brett Hundley Color Rush Jersey , the team could release Prosise and keep themselves at four backs plus Tre Madden, or they could view both McKissic and Prosise as options at receiver and turn to the newest member of the active roster: Malik Turner.An undrafted free agent, Turner is currently the number five option at receiver. He’s received zero targets during his two games and has only two snaps on special teams. He was inactive against the LA Rams. If the team opted to stay with four receivers and six backs, they’d basically be able to call McKissic their number five receiver anyway, plus Prosise, while Turner almost certainly reverts back to the practice squad. I know some fans are anxious to see Prosise go because he’s been a disappointment, but it seems pretty simple when you look at it: Prosise is more valuable than Turner and if the team believes that McKissic and Prosise serve as viable emergency options at receiver, then there’s maybe no good reason to not keep both. That’s only if there are no injuries at running back between now and next month, which is a whole other consideration. When the Pro Bowl rosters were announced back in December, there were no members of the Seattle Seahawks on the offensive side of the football. All universe linebacker Bobby Wagner and rookie punting phenom Michael Dickson made it for the Hawks Richard Sherman Color Rush Jersey , but the offense was not scheduled to be represented in Orlando. Until Wednesday when that changed. Russell Wilson will be joining Dickson and Wagner in sunny Florida for the Pro Bowl festivities, as he was named to the NFC squad as an injury replacement for Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Rodgers withdrew from the game due to injury, and so Wilson will be stepping in to take his place. Wilson, will be making his fifth Pro Bowl appearance, though he is credited with having six Pro Bowl selections due to the fact that he was an alternate in 2014. However, in 2014 when the league did away with the AFC-NFC designations and used an unconferenced format, New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was unable to play in the game because his presence was necessary for Super Bowl XLIX. That gave Wilson the opportunity to appear in the game, however, he was also required for a game that was scheduled to be played in Glendale, AZ but never actually took place as best as I can tell. Thus Duane Brown Color Rush Jersey , as he was also unavailable, the NFL sent in some schlubs like Matthew Stafford, Matt Ryan and Andy Dalton. In any case, there still is not a lot of reason for fans to actually watch the Pro Bowl, but if you are so inclined to do so, at least there is one more Seahawk to root for while doing so.
