Marshawn Lynch hasn’t suited up for a game since November 15th, but when asked if he would play Sunday when Seattle take on the Panthers for a spot in the NFC Championship game, the Seahawks’ running back gave a simple reply…
Marshawn Lynch sent ESPN's @Kenny_Mayne a two-word text about his status for Sunday's game vs. Carolina: "I'm ready." Beastmode.

This obviously makes Russell Wilson happy.
“Any time you have Marshawn, it’s a great thing,” quarterback Russell Wilson said Thursday. “He’s a great football player. Nobody really runs like him at all, and hopefully we can have him out there on the field. But as teammates, we want him to be healthy. We want him to feel like he’s ready to go.”
Prior to his injury, Lynch rushed for 417 yards averaging 3.9 yards per carry.
