Marshawn Lynch was among a handful of players who worked out for the Seattle Seahawks at the team’s practice facility on Monday.
Joining Lynch was a pair of veteran running backs, Robert Turbin and C.J. Anderson, as well as a group of defensive tackles; Mike Hughes, Tomasi Laulile, Chris Nelson, Shakir Soto and Andrew Williams.

Seattle is looking to replace Chris Carson and C.J. Prosise, who each suffered season-ending injuries on Sunday against the Cardinals.
They are also looking for another defensive tackle to take Bryan Mone’s spot on the practice squad. Mone was promoted to the active roster to replace Al Woods, who was suspended four games for violating the league’s policy on performance enhancing drugs.
Lynch’s visit was reported by Pete Carroll Monday morning on 710 ESPN’s morning radio show, and Turbin was in town last week for a visit as well. The two of them formed a running back tandem for the Seahawks from 2012-2014, winning a Super Bowl together in the 2013 season.
Anderson joined the Rams in the final two games of the regular season last year and tore up the 49ers in Week 17, rushing for 132 yards and a touchdown.
Seattle would love for him do that two years in a row, and his recent success may make him a more practical solution for Seattle in the short-term.
The Seahawks are almost certainly going to sign two running backs this week, and it seems likely it will be some combination of the three that were in town on Monday.
