Beast mode is back, but it’s not with the Bills.
Over the holiday week, former Buffalo first-round pick from 2007, Marshawn Lynch, has decided to come out of retirement. Lynch, who also played for the Raiders in his career last season, is re-joining another former team, the Seahawks.
Like the Bills, the Seahawks are headed to the playoffs in the NFC. The move was made due to injury issues the Seahawks have had in their backfield this year. Starter Chris Carson (hip) and backup running back C.J. Prosise (arm) are done for the year.
Lynch will make his “season debut” in Week 17. Per Seahawks Wire, Lynch has been prepping for a return for weeks.
The Seahawks sit at 11-4 and in their finale, play the 49ers, who are 12-3. The 49ers lead the NFC West and the two are playing for that title in the season finale.
Lynch played for the Bills from 2007-2010, when he was traded to Seattle from Buffalo. Until 2015, he played with the Seahawks, winning Super Bowl XLVIII.
Upon returning, Lynch had a classic first introductory press conference as well:
