Seahawks sign former Seattle running back Robert Turbin to the roster

The Seahawks could be in for more than one reunion in the running back room this week. Marshawn Lynch, who is in town for a visit with the team, is currently undergoing a physical.

In the meantime, Seattle has signed former Seahawks running back Robert Turbin back to the roster according to a number of sources, including ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Turbin was originally selected by the Seahawks in the fourth round of the 2012 NFL draft and spent three seasons in Seattle.

He will provide much-needed depth alongside rookie Travis Homer . . .  and Lynch, if he is able to reach an agreement in the near future.

Seattle has lost three running backs this season. Rashaad Penny was the first to fall with a torn ACL, and Chris Carson and C.J. Prosise suffered season-ending hip and arm injuries, respectively, on Sunday afternoon against the Cardinals.

Although the Seahawks have yet to announce the signing, Turbin posted a photo of himself in Seattle’s locker room on his Instagram account, confirming the move first-hand.
