NFL fans were treated to delightful news on Monday morning that the Seattle Seahawks flew in former running back Marshawn Lynch to discuss a reunion. Well, the seemingly impossible just became possible.

After undergoing a physical earlier in the day, NFL insider Ian Rapoport reports that Lynch's physical "went well," bringing him one step closer to re-signing with the Seahawks.

Seattle is just days away from a pivotal matchup with the rival San Francisco 49ers. However, the team lost running backs Chris Carson and CJ Prosise to season-ending injuries, leaving rookie Travis Homer as the lone individual on the running back depth chart.

The team responded by signing Robert Turbin, who played with Seattle from 2012-14. Now, "Beast Mode" could potentially join him.
