The Browns aren’t the only team without their starting tailback in Cleveland on Sunday.

Marshawn Lynch will not play for the Seahawks after suffering a lower back injury during pregame warmups. The injury came during Lynch’s routine pregame activities, leaving the Seahawks with no way to replace him in the lineup before the start of the game.

Justin Forsett and Leon Washington will do the running for the Seahawks, who have been trading punts with the Browns in the first quarter.
