GLENDALE, Ariz. – Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch did not start Sunday’s night’s game against the Arizona Cardinals because of an upset stomach. That was the official reason given, but Lynch entered the game at the start of the second quarter. Robert Turbin started in the backfield for the Seahawks.
Lynch went through the pregame warmups and seemed OK. When the game started, Lynch was walking around behind the Seahawks bench wearing a stocking cap.
He did not practice Wednesday and Thursday. It is typical for the Seahawks to give Lynch time to rest his back, but he was a full participant in practice Friday.
Lynch has rushed for 1,133 yards this season, his fourth consecutive season with more than 1,000 yards rushing.
