Report: Marshawn Lynch out for a few weeks, will try to recover

Marshawn Lynch is expected to take a few weeks to see if he can recover from an ab injury, according to a report.

Lynch only saw limited action in Week 10 and then he missed Week 11 because of his injury. He was set to see a groin specialist this week, and the belief was that he might have a sports hernia.

On Tuesday night ESPN’s Adam Schefter tweeted the latest about Lynch’s status:

Seahawks' RB Marshawn Lynch needs "a couple weeks to see how he does" and "to see if he can recover" from ab injury, per source. For now.

Lynch, 29, previously was extremely durable for the Seahawks. He had only missed one regular season game in his four-plus seasons with Seattle. This year has been a different story as a multitude of injuries have cost him time. He has played in seven games, carrying the ball 111 times for 417 yards — an average of just 3.8 yards per carry.

Thomas Rawls has filled in admirably for the Seahawks, and he will likely be their featured back while Lynch is out.
