The Facts: Following up on the ongoing story. ... According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Lynch is set to have surgery on his sports hernia Wednesday morning.
Diehards Line:Rapoport added that Lynch is expected to be out about a month. That falls into line with reporting from FOXSports.com's Mike Garafolo earlier tonight suggesting a four to five week timetable that would have Lynch back at full speed in late December -- or in time for the playoffs if the Seahawks make the postseason. All of which means those looking to roll with Thomas Rawls can do so without reservation at least through the fantasy playoffs.
