Seahawks' Lynch suffering from 1st-degree hamstring strain

Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch is fighting off a first-degree hamstring strain, ESPN's "Monday Night Football" broadcast revealed.

Lynch was ruled out of Monday's game against the Detroit Lions due to a hamstring injury, but underwent a number of physical exercises and was jogging on the field.

However, the Seahawks star couldn't fully accelerate, leading to his absence. Thomas Rawls and Fred Jackson will receive the majority of carries Monday.

Lynch suffered the injury against the Chicago Bears in Week 3, and was pulled from the second half of the game.
