Marshawn Lynch: (Back) Doesn't Practice Thursday

Lynch (back) was a non-participant in practice Thursday, Liz Mathews of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.

Analysis:

Perhaps the Seahawks are affording Lynch additional rest with an imperative matchup at Arizona on tap, but the running back normally returns in some capacity immediately after sitting out the first practice of the week. Thus, his activity level Friday should be watched with a keen eye to ensure he's on track play in Week 16.
