Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch missed practice on Thursday, which in itself isn’t notable — Lynch generally missed practice on Wednesday for an extra day of rest, which can sometimes extend to Thursday.

What is notable is that in addition to sitting out Wednesday’s and Thursday’s practices with a calf problem listed last week, Lynch was also listed with a rib issue on Thursday.

It remains to be seen whether that means anything as the team heads to Kansas City to face the 6-3 Chiefs on Sunday, but Lynch rumbled for 140 yards and a career-high four touchdowns against the New York Giants after missing two practices last week.

Nickel cornerback Jeremy Lane also missed practice on Thursday, just four days after playing in his first game since Week 1.

Lane was placed on the Hawks’ injured reserve/designated to return list after aggravating a groin injury in the season-opening 36-16 win over the Green Bay Packers on Sept. 4, and returned to practice just last week. He had a rough day in Seattle’s 38-17 win over the New York Giants on Sunday, giving up five receptions for 45 yards on five targets, according to Pro Football Focus.

Lane, who is also a key cog in the Seahawks’ coverage teams, was a limited participant in Wednesday’s practice, but the fact that he was downgraded on Thursday can’t be a good sign for a secondary that may also be without Marcus Burley, Lane’s replacement for most of the season, who hasn’t practiced this week with a hamstring issue.

The secondary should get strong safety Kam Chancellor back Sunday, however, after he was a full participant for the second straight day.

Rookie middle linebacker Brock Coyle missed his second straight practice on Thursday, but Malcolm Smith — who hasn’t played since Week 8 — was full-go. If Coyle is unable to play on Sunday, weakside ‘backer K.J. Wright would likely slide inside, with Smith or rookie Kevin Pierre-Louis starting at Wright’s normal spot outside.

Tight end Luke Willson was a limited participant Thursday after not practicing on Wednesday, and the decision on whether he plays Sunday at Kansas City should go down to the wire. Cooper Helfet, however, was a full participant on Thursday. He and former Chiefs player Tony Moeaki should get the bulk of the action for the Hawks if Willson is unable to go.
