RENTON – If this were the regular season, C.J. Prosise and Thomas Rawls would be game-time decisions for Seattle.
But since it’s the preseason neither one of those guys will be suiting up for Friday’s game against Kansas City.
“If we were playing in a regular-season game,” coach Pete Carroll said, “they would be pushing to play. We’d be pushing them to go ahead because we thought it was safe. But let’s just take another week.”

Prosise missed last week’s preseason game after his groin muscle tightened up during pre-game warmups while Rawls sat out the game because of an ankle injury.
Expect Eddie Lacy to start Friday’s game with rookie Chris Carson and offseason acquisition Mike Davis also getting opportunities in the first half.
As for Rawls and Prosise?
“We know what we can do with these guys,” Carroll said. “We just wish that we were getting the continuity of them playing with us. But other than we need to get them as healthy as we can get them going into the opener.
Linebacker Michael Wilhoite has missed the last two weeks of practice because of a calf injury, and he will also be out for Friday’s preseason game. Tight end Luke Willson, however, is expected to play.
