The Seattle Seahawks are in desperate need of a running back after losing both Chris Carson (hip) and C.J. Prosise (broken arm) for the rest of the season Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals.
So, per reports from NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo, former Seahawk Marshawn Lynch is heading to Seattle to meet with the team about a return:
Mike Garafolo reported on Twitter: “The #Seahawks are badly in need of RB help and would welcome the chat about a return. We’ll see where this goes today.”

Lynch hasn’t suited up since October 2018, when he suffered a groin injury with the Oakland Raiders. Beast Mode was a fan favorite with the Seahawks, helping the franchise to its first-ever Super Bowl championship and racking up four of his five career Pro Bowl nods during his six seasons there.
Seattle Times reporter Bob Condotta says the team is likely to sign at least two running backs, and that C.J. Anderson and Robert Turbin are also in the mix.
