The San Francisco 49ers aren't the only team that will enter Week 8 banged up at running back. Their opponent, the Seattle Seahawks, is also dealing with issues at the position.
The 49ers will be without featured back Raheem Mostert and Jeff Wilson Jr. Wilson rushed for a career-high 112 yards during Sunday's win over the New England Patriots before suffering a high-ankle sprain in the third quarter. He will join Mostert, who coincidentally sustained the same injury a week earlier, on injured reserve.
San Francisco could get back Tevin Coleman this week. At least, head coach Kyle Shanahan remains optimistic about the veteran rusher's return.
"I hope so,"
Shanahan said on Monday. "I'm not sure yet, though. I mean, I know he can't go today. I'd be surprised if he gets out there fully for Wednesday, but I think that will be a late-end-of-the-week decision."
Meanwhile, Seahawks running back Chris Carson is week-to-week with a mid-foot sprain. He will miss some time. Backups Carlos Hyde, a former Niner, and third-down back Travis Homer also emerged banged up from Sunday night's overtime loss to the Arizona Cardinals.
Hyde is dealing with a hamstring issue and was sidelined late in the game. Homer suffered a knee contusion. The injuries forced Seattle to turn to fourth-string rookie DeeJay Dallas in overtime.
"So we have some things that we can do if we need to," Seahawks head coach
Pete Carroll said on Monday. "We're going to take it one day at a time and see if our guys can get back in who can get back, with a couple of creative thoughts going forward that will keep in-house for now."
The 49ers (4-3) and Seahawks (5-1) are set to kick off from CenturyLink Field on Sunday at 1:25 p.m. PT.

Ctrl+Z: 4 key decisions 49ers might "undo" if given the chance
No one is perfect. Each of us makes mistakes. I do for sure. Peruse your way through the many articles I've written for 49ers Webzone and you'll see plenty of mistakes. Whether it's a typo or some prediction I offered that didn't go as I had thought.
The San Francisco 49ers are no different. John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan have made their share of mistakes. Fortunately for all of us, they hit on more than they miss. But I wonder if we were able to catch them in a moment of complete transparency if they might admit to wanting to hit the Ctrl+Z and "undo" some moves.
I doubt they will admit to such mistakes anytime soon, but fear not—I'm here to do it for them. Yes, I could write on the best decisions
