ALAMEDA – Marshawn Lynch could be designated to return off injured reserve late this season. He could be back in time to play the year’s last game at Oakland Coliseum, a Monday night affair with Denver on Christmas Eve.
While it might be ideal for Oakland to watch their native son play again in this disaster of a season, it shouldn’t be considered likely.
“I don’t know. I would say it would be very difficult, but I’m never going to shut the door with a guy like that,” head coach Jon Gruden said in his Monday press conference.
