Thomas Rawls not expected to suit up in Seattle's preseason games

Seattle Seahawks running back Thomas Rawls (ankle) is not expected to play in the preseason, ESPN Seahawks reporter Sheil Kapadia.

What It Means:

The Seahawks have been tight-lipped about Rawls' recovery from a broken ankle, but they have consistently targeted Week 1 for his return. That suggests he will not see any work in the preseason, and he could be extremely limited deep into training camp.

All of this uncertainty will likely make Rawls a wild card in 2016 drafts. There's no debating his outstanding rookie year, though. Among backs with at least 100 carries in 2015, Rawls ranked second in Rushing Net Expected Points (NEP) per carry.
