The NFL is in the midst of the third week of pre-season action, so final cut downs to 53-man rosters are right around the corner. In a new twist this season, teams can maintain 90 players on their pre-season rosters. Instead of the usual incremental reduction fans are used to, there will be one final whack from 90 to 53 immediately after teams finish their final pre-season game. Here is the Seattle Seahawks<\/strong><\/a> Roster Prediction for the offense.<\/p>\n

Final Seattle Seahawks Roster Prediction: Offense<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Quarterbacks (2): Russell Wilson<\/a><\/strong>, Trevone Boykin<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Seahawks always keep just two quarterbacks on the active roster. Behind Wilson, the back-up job will go to Boykin – the second-year player out of Texas Christian<\/strong>. Austin Davis<\/a><\/strong> was signed in the off-season, but Boykin\u2019s experience within the system and similar skill set as Wilson will keep him around. Boykin struggled in the third pre-season game against the Kansas City Chiefs<\/strong><\/a>, but he isn\u2019t going anywhere.<\/p>\n

Running Backs (6): Eddie Lacy<\/a>, Chris Carson, Thomas Rawls<\/a><\/strong>, C.J. Prosise<\/a><\/strong>, J.D. McKissic<\/a>, Marcel Reece<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Before training camp and the pre-season games, the discussion about Seahawks running backs centered on Lacy and Rawls. At this point, the discussion has transitioned to, “Has rookie seventh round pick Carson done enough to usurp the two veterans ahead of him on the depth chart?”<\/p>\n

Carson has shown playbook awareness, ability in the receiving game, and stout running. The training camp hype about him seems legitimate.<\/p>\n

\n

I\u2019m not ruling out Chris Carson, Week 1 starter at this stage.<\/p>\n
