Marshawn Lynch (abdomen) is listed as questionable for this week's game against the San Francisco 49ers, but in a Friday morning interview with KIRO Radio 97.3 FM, Seattle head coach Pete Carroll said Lynch "feels like he can play," and after Friday's practice added that he expects the Seahawks running back to be ready, noting Lynch's questionable status comes with a "positive bend."
"We were treating him all day today again," Carroll said of Lynch, who did not participate in practice for the third straight day. "Really trying to treat him and make sure that he's right."
Wide receiver Paul Richardson (hamstring), who saw his first game action this past Sunday since coming off the team's physically unable to perform list, got hurt hauling in a 40-yard catch from quarterback Russell Wilson, an injury that will keep him out against the 49ers.
"He's not going to make it back," Carroll said. "He's got a hamstring that we're going to have to wait. We'll see if we can get him next week."
The Seahawks will wait a bit longer to determine the status of cornerback Jeremy Lane, who returned to practice recently after starting the season on PUP with arm and knee injuries suffered in Super Bowl XLIX. Lane isn't listed on this week's practice report because a roster move hasn't been made yet to add him to the 53-man active roster, something that would have to happen before Sunday if Lane is to see play time against the 49ers.
"We'll take him all the way through the week," Carroll said. "We're evaluating the rigor of the week and is he going to be at his best for gameday. We're going to wait a little bit longer to figure that out."

Outside of Lynch, Richardson, Lane, and linebacker Bruce Irvin (knee), who was ruled out earlier this week, the Seahawks look to be fairly healthy despite seven other players being listed on this week's report. Cornerback Cary Williams (hip), wide receiver Doug Baldwin (toe), defensive tackle Demarcus Dobbs (shoulder), defensive end Cliff Avril (ankle), and linebacker K.J. Wright (knee) are all probable to play after being held out or limited at practice earlier in the week.
For the 49ers, starting running back Carlos Hyde (foot), whose last game came against the Seahawks last month, has been ruled out for Sunday's game. Wide receiver Anquan Boldin (hamstring), who also hasn't played since the team's Week 7 game against Seattle, is listed as questionable and looks to be the Niners' only unsettled injury situation heading into Week 11 with every other player probable to play.

Lee, fresh off his first career NFC special teams player of the week honor days earlier, had a punt blocked in the fourth quarter at Seattle on Saturday that very well could have cost San Francisco the game and a chance for the NFC's No. 2 seed. The Niners wound up rallying for a 19-17 win. That blocked punt marked the first for Lee since 2008 and just the third in his eight-year NFL career. (AP Photo/Kevin Casey, File)
