Seattle Seahawks running back C.J. Prosise returned to action on Sunday against the New York Giants, but his comeback was short-lived.

After missing Seattle’s previous two games due to an ankle injury, the second-year back reinjured his ankle during his first pass protection on Sunday, according to head coach Pete Carroll.

Carroll said in his Monday morning appearance on 710 ESPN Seattle’s “The Pete Carroll Show” that Prosise had a setback with his sprained ankle during Seattle’s 24-7 win over the Giants.

“He didn’t hurt it bad, but he knew he didn’t have it under him and so we didn’t play him,” Carroll told hosts Brock Huard and Mike Salk. “So here we go again. We’re waiting on him, unfortunately.”

When asked if Prosise would be able to return in Week 8 against the Houston Texans, Carroll said, “I think he’s got a chance we’ll see what happens.”

Prosise was questionable to play against the Giants on Sunday after returning to practice following Seattle’s bye week. He was expected to play limited snaps in his return on Sunday.

The 23-year-old back has struggled to stay on the field in his first two seasons. In 2016, Prosise was sidelined with a number of injuries and saw action in only six games. He finished his rookie campaign with just 30 carries for 172 yards and a touchdown.

The Seahawks have been hopeful that Prosise will be healthy enough to perform at a high level. Offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell said he believes Prosise could be an every-down back on Sundays, but the running back has yet to prove he can stay on the field.
