Marshawn Lynch injury: Beast Mode heads to Philly to see sports hernia specialist, surgery not ruled out

This will be a key week for Marshawn Lynch, who heads to Philly to see a sports hernia specialist about his abdomen injury.

As Ian Rapoport reported on Monday morning, "the belief is Lynch's abdomen injury is a sports hernia. Lynch will meet with noted specialist Dr. William Meyers in Philadelphia today. If Meyers confirms the fear, surgery would come quickly and Beast Mode could be out the rest of the regular season, per a source informed of the injury."

That implies that the Seahawks would hold on to Lynch on the active roster until the Playoffs with an eye on a healthy BeastMode once the wildcard round heats up.
