Michael has seen extensive work during training camp due to the Seahawks' banged-up backfield options, ESPN.com reports.
Michael has seen plenty of first-team action while projected starter Thomas Rawls (ankle) and rookie C.J. Prosise (hamstring) remain sidelined, and has done a great job throughout camp, according to coach Pete Carroll. In fact, Michael's regular involvement has caused Carroll and Seattle's coaches to be careful in not overworking him at this early stage. A tantalizing athlete, Michael has rushed for 446 yards on 91 carries over his three seasons with the Seahawks, and will be eager to capitalize on his latest opportunity for touches while his teammates are still sidelined during the preseason.
