The Seattle Seahawks are in desperate need of a running back after losing three this season to injuries. Rashaad Penny first tore his ACL, then Chris Carson and C.J. Prosise left the game Week 16 and are both likely done for the year.
With arguably the biggest matchup of the regular season less than a week away, Seattle will have to make a couple of roster moves to shore up the position and assist rookie Travis Homer, the lone healthy running back on the active squad.
The Seahawks will likely host a number of players on tryouts, but no name stands out more than former superstar, Marshawn Lynch, who just may be open to a reunion in Seattle.
Marshawn Lynch and the #Seahawks are open to a reunion, and Lynch has told people he plans to travel to Seattle today to discuss it, sources tell me, @MikeGarafolo and @TomPelissero. #BeastMode could be back in Seattle.

Coach Pete Carroll was asked about the potential visit during his Monday morning radio show on 710 ESPN Seattle and confirmed what every fan has been hoping for.
“He’ll be flying in here this morning and we’re going to give him a really good chance to come back and play for us,” Carroll said. “I’m fired up for it. He’s got some hoops he’s got to jump through here – physical and stuff like that – but he’s been working really hard. He’s really excited about the chance to do something and help out. I think it’s frickin great.”
Marshawn Lynch isn't the only former #Seahawks RB who might return. Sources say Robert Turbin is expected to pay a visit to the team in the near future.

Lynch isn’t the only former Seahawks running back who could rejoin the squad. Robert Turbin could also make a return to Seattle.
