CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The latest from NFL divisional games on Sunday (all times EST):
12 p.m.
This time, Marshawn Lynch is ready to go.
The Seahawks running back is active for Sunday's NFC divisional playoff game against the Carolina Panthers and is expected to start.
It will be Lynch's first game in more than two months.
The Seahawks thought he would be active against Minnesota last week in the wild card playoffs, but he never made the trip.
He was injured in Seattle's 39-32 loss to the Arizona Cardinals on Nov. 15. The Seahawks have gone 7-1 without him.
