Marshawn Lynch active for Seahawks vs. Cardinals

Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch is indeed available and expected to play in tonight’s game against the division-leading Cardinals.

Lynch was added to the injury report on Friday after experiencing pain in his abdomen toward the end of Thursday’s practice. He was listed as questionable – which amounts to an estimated 50/50 chance of playing – but coach Pete Carroll indicated that he felt Lynch would be able to play.

And Lynch is expected to do so as he was not among the seven players Seattle declared inactive. Those players are: cornerback Tye Smith, running back Bryce Brown, center Drew Nowak, guard Mark Glowinski, guard/center Kristjan Sokoli, tight end Cooper Helfet and defensive tackle David King.

King was the only player among those seven who was on the injury report last week – listed as doubtful due to a groin injury – which means the others are likely healthy scratches. That includes Nowak, who began the season as Seattle’s starting center but has since been replaced by Patrick Lewis.

John Brown, Arizona’s second-leading receiver, is active despite being limited in practice throughout last week due to a hamstring injury. He was listed as questionable.

Arizona’s inactives: quarterback Matt Barkley, wide receiver J.J. Nelson, cornerback Robert Nelson, Jr., linebacker Shaq Riddick, guard/center Ted Larsen, tackle D.J. Humphries and nose tackle Xavier Williams.
