Hes been out for a about a month, some posters said he was back in practice last week. How long do these sports hernias take to heal and should he be back by week 15 or 16?.
Will marshawn be back for the Cards or Rams?

I don't know if it was ever verified that it was a true sports hernia. I thought that it was described more as an abdominal problem and that the repair involved stapling something to a pelvic bone.
That being said, while I don't think this is necessarily a good comparison, I had umbilical hernia surgery 6 weeks ago. I was told not to lift anything over 10 pounds for 6 weeks. This is because they said it would take that long for the internal scar tissue to grow/strengthen around the mesh that was inserted in my abdomen.

No one knows.
If I'm Pete, I roll the dice with the current crop of RB's and do whatever it takes to get Marshawn as healthy as possible for the playoffs.
Not ideal obviously, but we should be fine until the playoffs going RB by committee, especially if Arizona's already got the #2 seed locked up and rests their starters, which they should being two full games up on the Packers with three to go.

Lynch's return will be played by ear based on the playoff picture more than anything and dont think we see him until Arizona (if needed)
1) Will the game in Arizona matter for the NFL West title. If not, then no Lynch.
2) The #5 spot is much sweeter than the #6 spot and I think that will play into it. If the #5 spot is locked up heading into Arizona, then no Lynch.

Pete was just asked if Marshawn would be returning soon in his press conference and he did not sound too optimistic. He said the more games they play the better of a chance Marshawn has in returning.
So, Week 17 does not sound too likely at this point but then again we are talking about Beastmode here so he may be back a practice tomorrow...

My theory is that Pete knows almost exactly when Lynch is coming back and doesn't want to tell us (or the rest of the NFL). Pete may have a better tailor and hairstyle, but he can be downright Belichikien in his own genial way. If Lynch were as far away as some of you fear, he would have been IRed.
I strongly feel and suspect that Lynch will be back in time for the playoffs and that is the time-line the 'hawks are looking at. If so, I expect him for limited (rust blowing) duty on week 17 but no sooner, but he doesn't want to give the rest of the league any idea of what to expect until league rules absolutely force him to.....that and Pete has historically been very careful with bringing players back from injury, esp older ones.

Well wouldn't you? Lynch is an older back coming back from a serious injury and right now Seattle is benefiting from facing the dregs of the NFL and Wilson is playing at a super-elite level. As long as you have SOME running game, that should be good enough for the rest of the season. The only serious opponent left is Arizona that game looks to be meaningless (99%+ chance it's utterly meaningless). Why bring him back before you have to?
I do think that Lynch may suit up and take a few carries in week 17 but only to blow off the rust.

We can potentially lock up a playoff spot this week. The scenarios arent that implausible. If we do that, I say we dont play Lynch until the playoffs no matter what. And if we dont lock it up this week, we have an EVEN GREATER chance to lock it up next week. If were in the dance, keep Lynch fresh.
An NFCE matchup in the playoffs is a good warmup game for Lynch.

Not only can Seattle clinch a playoff spot this week, I'd go so far as to say it's likely. Even if Seattle doesn't this week, they certainly will next week. If Seattle wins any two of it's remaining games, they're in no matter what anyone else does.

Why would that be? I fully expected them to sign another guy. Can't have Sweezy running the ball if Brown goes down. Need competition for them both too. That being said, as soon as Beast is back, one of them (the competition loser) will be on the waiver wire again.

Yes, if "imminent" was this week. I really can't imagine that they would not have signed an extra back for this week. CM and BB are basically on week to week contracts. Beast could be coming back in time for the Rams game and it still makes sense for the Seahawks to have signed both of these guys.
