The Oakland Raiders placed running back Marshawn Lynch on injured reserve Monday, the team announced.

Lynch suffered the injury during a 27-3 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Oct. 14.

The veteran running back rushed for 376 yards and three touchdowns on 90 carries in six games during the 2018 season. Doug Martin will likely replace Lynch as the Raiders' lead back in his absence.

It's a tough loss for the Raiders, who traded Amari Cooper to the Dallas Cowboys in exchange for a first-round pick earlier Monday.
