According to Pete Carroll, Thomas Rawls is "getting really close" to returning to practice. (Sheil Kapadia on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact:

The Seahawks have insisted that Rawls would be ready for week one and the sooner he can make it back the better. Rawls showed the ability to be a legitimate number one back and he could be a huge resource for the Seahawks in their first year removed from Marshawn Lynch. Rawls will likely rise in fantasy drafts once he gets on the field and shopws he is healthy.
