RENTON, Wash. (AP) - Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch has a sprained foot but is probable and expected to play Sunday against Atlanta.

Coach Pete Carroll said Lynch got work in practice Friday for the first time this week and looked fine. Asked what it would take for Lynch not to play, Carroll cracked, "Miss the flight? Doesn't show up in Atlanta?"

Lynch rushed for 132 yards and a touchdown in last week's wild-card round win over Washington. He did not participate in practice Wednesday and Thursday.

Wide receiver Sidney Rice did not practice Friday with a knee injury but was listed as probable. Reserve safety Jeron Johnson was questionable with a hamstring and reserve cornerback Byron Maxwell is doubtful (hamstring).

Carroll said newly signed backup defensive end Patrick Chukwurah will likely be active for Sunday's game.

    I'm a fairly savvy fan, but for the life of me I can't figure out why JR Sweezy gets the nod over Moffitt. I mean I'm sure that the guy has great upside, but that much more so (and prepared enough now) to start over a guy who's been there?

    Moffitt has been where?

    Moffitt was a rookie last year, and at this point has about as much experience as Sweezy does because he's been hurt the whole time. Remember, Pete is all about competition, not the name on the back of the jersey or a guy's draft position. Sweezy is in there because he's the best guy right now.

    Moffit may be a little bit sore and they are tending to him.

    It takes more then a season to recover from knee surgery. He needs to rest his knee. It needs to heal at its own time frame not Seahawk time frame.
