Seahawks RB Lynch out again

NFL NOTEBOOK

Marshawn Lynch will miss a second consecutive week for the Seahawks with a hamstring strain.

On Friday, the team ruled Lynch out for Sunday’s game against the Bengals.

Lynch injured his hamstring in the second quarter of the team’s 26- 0 victory over the Bears in Week 3. Lynch returned to limited participation in practice Thursday but is not ready to return. He will not travel with the team to Cincinnati.

“He could try to come back and play, but we think he’d be vulnerable,” coach Pete Carroll said. “He needs another weekend to get through it and then by next week, by Wednesday or something, we think we can get him going again. We’re just about over the hump.”

Other players ruled out for Sunday: 49ers tight end Vernon Davis ( knee); Saints left tackle Terron Armstead ( knee); Lions running back Joique Bell ( ankle), tight end Eric Ebron ( knee) and defensive tackle Haloti Ngata ( calf); Broncos left tackle Ty Sambrailo ( shoulder); Redskins cornerbacks DeAngelo Hall ( toe) and Chris Culliver ( knee); Giants linebacker Devon Kennard ( hamstring) and defensive linemen Robert Ayers ( hamstring) and George Selvie ( calf).

Bills running back LeSean McCoy said the team’s medical staff gave him a three- to four- week timetable to recover from the hamstring injury he aggravated during practice Sept. 24. That could delay his return until after the bye on Nov. 8 against the visiting Dolphins.

Texans going with Hoyer

Despite a horrific fourth- quarter interception in Thursday’s loss to the Colts, the Texans announced that quarterback Brian Hoyer ( 312 yards, two touchdowns) will start next week at Jacksonville.
