The Seahawks fell behind so quickly Sunday that Marshawn Lynch had few opportunities to make an impact in his first game since Nov. 15.
In perhaps his last appearance as a Seahawk, and his first since undergoing abdominal surgery Nov. 25, the running back had six carries for 20 yards and two catches for 15 yards in Seattle's 31-24 loss to Carolina.
During his weekly Monday appearance on 710 ESPN Seattle's Brock and Salk, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll declined to speculate on Lynch's future.
"There's a whole bunch of stuff that we have to deal with right now," Carroll said.
