Seahawks' DeeJay Dallas: Stands out in preseason loss

Dallas rushed five times for 24 yards, secured both of his targets for 45 yards and a touchdown, and returned two kickoffs for 55 yards in the Seahawks' 20-7 preseason loss to the Raiders on Saturday night.

The University of Miami product made an excellent impression in his bid to win the third-down back role, with his 43-yard touchdown grab early in the third quarter offering a tangible reminder of his pass-catching acumen. Dallas easily outshined one of his primary competitors in Alex Collins during Saturday night's game, while Travis Homer (calf) remains on the PUP list and is therefore missing out on opportunities to make his own case for the job. Dallas will look to put together a successful encore to Saturday's effort in the Seattle's second preseason contest against the Broncos next Saturday.
