RENTON, Wash. — Marshawn Lynch is back with the Seattle Seahawks and had his first practice with the team Tuesday.
After practice, he addressed his return to the team after someone asked, “What brought you back this time?”

“Happy holidays. Merry New Year. Y’all have a great day,” Lynch responded. “It’s a great feeling to be back. Thank you.”
The Seahawks tweeted the 15-second video Tuesday afternoon.

This isn’t the first time the running back gave a brief press conference to media. In 2014, Lynch was fined $100,000 for his decision to avoid media. During Super Bowl Media Day, Lynch repeated for five minutes, “I’m here so I don’t get fined.”

Seattle made official the signings of Lynch and Robert Turbin — the same backfield combo it used from 2012-14 — on Tuesday. The Seahawks placed injured running backs Chris Carson (hip) and C.J. Prosise (arm) on injured reserve to open up the roster spots.
