Sources: Lynch has surgery for sports hernia

RENTON, Wash. -- Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch had surgery Wednesday to repair a sports hernia injury, sources confirmed to ESPN.

The surgery was first reported by NFL.com.

Lynch suffered the injury in practice before the Seahawks' Week 10 game against the Arizona Cardinals. He started and played 79 percent of the team's snaps. But Carroll said the injury started to bother him late in the 39-32 loss.

Lynch was inactive for the Seahawks' 29-13 win over the San Francisco 49ers in Week 11.
