Carroll: Marshawn Lynch battling foot sprain

Marshawn Lynch - RB - Seattle Seahawks

Jan. 11, 2013 - 4:10 PM ET

Seahawks coach Pete Carroll clarified Friday that Marshawn Lynch has a sprained foot, but he's listed as probable for the Divisional Round.

It must be a very mild sprain. Lynch returned to a limited practice on Friday after missing Wednesday and Thursday's workouts. The Seahawks seem to believe the sprain won't affect Lynch's performance in Sunday's early-afternoon matchup with the Falcons. During the regular season, only the Kansas City Chiefs allowed more rushing yards after contact than Atlanta's defense did.
