The Facts: HC Pete Carroll, speaking at the NFL owners meeting, told reporters this morning that Carson is 100 percent now and there are no concerns about the running back being ready for OTAs.

Diehards Line: As CBSSports.com reminded readers, Carson opened his rookie season as the Seahawks' starting running back, taking 49 carries for 208 yards (4.2 average) and seven catches for 59 yards and a touchdown prior to suffering a broken leg and high-ankle sprain Week 4. There was some hope he'd return from injured reserve late in the season, and while that didn't come to fruition, Carson at least is on track for a normal offseason ahead of his sophomore campaign. He's an early favorite to reprise the lead role, as Seattle hasn't added any new running backs in free agency. The team did retain Mike Davis and pass-catching specialist J.D. McKissic, along with injury-prone 2016 third-round pick C.J. Prosise (ankle). More talent could be coming via the draft, but the team has moved on from Eddie Lacy and Thomas Rawls, in part because of Carson.
