Michael gained 52 yards on 16 carries and caught all three of his targets for another three yards in Sunday's 6-6 tie with the Cardinals.
Even with the extra period to accumulate stats, Michael was stymied by a tough Arizona defense in a game that didn't have any touchdowns. Seattle didn't have much more luck through the air, with Russell Wilson completing 24 of 37 passes for 225 yards. C.J. Prosise handled most of the passing-down work in his first appearance since Week 1, catching two of three targets for 17 yards while also taking a lone carry for no gain. Michael still accounted for 19 of the team's 23 running back touches, leaving minimal concern regarding his workload in the absence of Thomas Rawls (ankle). With Rawls expected to miss at least another game or two, Michael should stay busy in a favorable Week 8 matchup at New Orleans.
