Raiders' Marshawn Lynch Reportedly Missing A Month With Groin Injury
OAKLAND (CBS SF) – Raiders running back Marshawn Lynch is reportedly out for at least the next month following a groin injury, the latest blow in what has been a rough season in Oakland.
According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, the former Cal star had an MRI this week and that there is a chance Lynch could end up on injured reserve.

My understanding is that Injured Reserve is a strong possibility. Not good. https://t.co/Pq0QujUpHX

Lynch suffered the injury during last week's 27-3 loss to the Seahawks in London.
If the running back misses a month, he would miss upcoming games against the Colts, 49ers, Chargers and Cardinals and would return for a Week 12 matchup against the Ravens.
Following the trip abroad, the Raiders are entering their bye week with a 1-5 record, tied with the Colts for the worst record in the AFC.
