Marshawn Lynch: Expected to miss at least 4 weeks

Lynch (abdomen) is expected to miss at least four weeks, Mike Garafolo of FOX Sports reports.

Analysis:

The Seahawks have yet to confirm, but this backs up a prior report from ESPN's Adam Schefter which indicated Lynch would be out multiple weeks. Lynch saw a sports hernia specialist Tuesday, and it seems the decision was made to get him under the knife as soon as possible in hopes of getting him back strong in late December. In the meantime, Thomas Rawls will shoulder the load for Seattle.
