With Marshawn Lynch announced out before the game, the Seahawks are down to Thomas Rawls to handle the rushing load for the time being. Jackson had been having a good game before leaving, picking up 21 yards on three carries. Rawls was the primary ball carrier, but less effective with 19 yards on 10 carries before Jackson left.
Jackson joined the Seahawks this past September after the Bills released him. He has done well in Seattle, albeit in a very limited capacity, especially compared to what he's used to. Entering Monday night, he had just five carries on the season, but gained 26 yards. He also had five receptions for 41 yards and a score.
