Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said Wednesday that Rawls is dealing with a high-ankle injury, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
The high-ankle sprain would explain why Rawls' injury has lingered longer than initially expected. The issue was first reported Aug. 16, and Carroll said a week ago that Rawls would have been able to play in the preseason finale if the Seahawks had used their starters. It's unclear if the third-year runner suffered a concrete setback or is just struggling to get all the way back to full health. Another update will be available when the Seahawks release their injury report Wednesday evening.
