Eyebrows were raised when Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch missed practice on Wednesday with a knee injury.

The eyebrows can now return to their normal position. Per a league source, Lynch will play on Sunday.

With the Bucs coming to town, the Seahawks don’t necessarily need Lynch on Sunday. Then again, a sputtering passing game will only get worse if Lynch isn’t available to keep opposing defenses honest.

Lynch has 601 yards rushing in eight 2013 games, with seven total touchdowns. He’s averaging 4.1 yards per carry.
