Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson had himself an impressive 2018 season, logging 247 carries for 1,151 yards and nine touchdowns.

For Carson, this year is shaping up to be even more impressive.

“Nobody is in better shape than Chris Carson,” coach Pete Carroll said after Tuesday’s minicamp practice. “He’s just an extremely well-fit guy. He’s just razor-sharp strength-wise and explosion-wise. He’s always really impressive.”

Carson underwent a knee procedure over the offseason that has kept him out of the recent workouts, but he is expected to be ready by the start of the season.

Rashaad Penny, about to enter his second season, has been doing the brunt of the work in Carson’s absence. With Penny fully healthy, he is expected to have an increased role, which he’s embraced over the last few weeks.

Carson, Penny and the rest of the Seahawks resume practice Wednesday and Thursday before breaking for the summer ahead of training camp.
