Oakland Raiders head coach Jon Gruden expressed concern Tuesday over a groin strain suffered by running back Marshawn Lynch, per The Athletic's Vic Tafur.

He'll undergo an MRI, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

The 32-year-old Lynch ran 13 times for 45 yards and caught three of five targets for an additional 14 yards in the Raiders' 27-3 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday. He's totaled 376 rushing yards, 84 receiving yards, and three scores while playing all six games so far this season.

The Raiders are on bye this week and will host the Indianapolis Colts in Week 8.

Doug Martin, Jalen Richard, and DeAndre Washington could be asked to take on larger roles if Lynch were to miss any time.
