SEATTLE, Aug. 24 (UPI) -- Beast Mode is no more in Seattle, but Thomas Rawls showed fans they have somebody to rally around in 2016. Rawls had offseason ankle surgery after getting injured in week 14 last season against the Baltimore Ravens. The 23-year-old Central Michigan product was ruled out of the Seahawks' preseason matchup Thursday.
