The Facts: Marshawn Lynch (hamstring) and defensive tackle Brandon Mebane (groin) were ruled out following Seattle's final walkthrough on Sunday. The Detroit Lions ruled out Joique Bell and also ruled out linebacker DeAndre Levy (hip) and tackle Corey Robinson (ankle) on Sunday. Neither player made the trip to Seattle with the team. Levy has yet to play this season for the Lions.
Diehards Line:It will be the first game Lynch has been inactive for since being acquired by the Seahawks in 2010. He’s only missed one game since joining Seattle, which came after suffering back spasms prior to kickoff against the Cleveland Browns in Oct. 2011. Thomas Rawls is expected to get the start in Lynch's absence. ... Also inactive for Seattle are cornerback Tharold Simon (toe), safety Steven Terrell (hip), linebacker Kevin Pierre-Louis (hamstring), defensive end Demarcus Dobbs (shoulder) and guard Kristjan Sokoli. Bell, Levy and Robinson and TE Brandon Pettigrew (hamstring) had already been ruled out on Saturday by Detroit. Defensive end Phillip Hunt and defensive tackle Jermelle Cudjo are also inactive for the Lions.
