On the Raiders podcast with J Hawkes:

Oakland Raiders running back Marshawn Lynch will be back in the line up this Sunday in Miami and Raiders quarterback Derek Carr said that he and the team is excited to have Lynch back in. Lynch who was suspended for contact with an official vs. Kansas City during a Thursday Night Football game two weeks ago sat out last Sunday’s game against the Buffalo Bills a game which the Raiders lost at Orchard Park NY.

Having Lynch back in the line up works for everybody and also puts a spring in everybody’s step and speaking of stepping the Raiders are counting to get some help in their ground game. Lynch has only two touchdowns but he would have been good to have in the Buffalo game. Where ball security was an issue the Raiders turned the ball over with three fumbles against the Bills and two of them were from the running backs so Lynch’s return couldn’t have better timing.
