SEAHAWKS Marshawn Lynch has rejoined the Se- attle Seahawks just in time for the playoffs. Coach Pete Carroll said on his radio show Mon- day morning on KIRO-AM in Seattle that Lynch was back at the team's facility aftermissingthefinalseven games of the regular season and undergoing abdominal surgery.TheSeahawkswere not practicing, so Lynch's first chance to get back on thefieldandseeifhe'sready to play will be Wednesday when Seattle begins prep- arations for Sunday's wild- card game at Minnesota. CHARGERS Mike McCoy will return as coach of the Chargers despite a 4-12 re- cord this season. The next big question is whether he'll be coaching them in San Diego or Los Angeles. "I'mverythankfulforthe opportunitytobeback,"Mc- Coy said Monday, a day af- tertheChargerslostatDen- ver to go winless in the AFC West for the first time since 1984, the year Alex Spanos bought the team. COLTS Indianapolis Colts coach Chuck Pagano still has his job — for now. After Pagano and team owner Jim Irsay met most of Monday afternoon, team spokesman Avis Roper said no announcement was ex- pected to come before Tues- day. The 55-year-old is not expected to return to Indy next season with his con- tract set to expire. Pagano turned down a one-year ex- tension last offseason. PATRIOTS The bye week will come in handy for New England Patriots quarter- back Tom Brady, who could use the rest after Miami defensive lineman Ndamu- kong Suh landed on his right ankle in Sunday's game. Brady threw only 21 passes for a season-low 134 yards in the 20-10 loss to the Dolphins — the Patri- ots' fourth loss in their past six games. "I've had worse. I've had plenty of worse injuries than this one," said Brady, who has had only one in- juryinhiscareerthatforced him to miss time — a sea- son-ending knee injury in Week 1 of 2008. BENGALS The Bengals are getting AJ McCarron ready to face the Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday night with their 25-year playoff drought on the line. McCarron led the Ben- galstoa2-1markinthepast three games while Andy Dalton was sidelined by a broken right thumb. Dal- ton was hurt while making a tackle on an interception return during Pittsburgh's 33-20 win at Paul Brown Stadium on Dec. 13. Dalton was hoping to re- turn for the playoffs, but the AFC North champions wound up playing a first- round game on Saturday night, giving him less time to heal. NFL FROM PAGE 1 whether to allow one or two of the franchises to re- locate next season. The Rams are seeking to build a stadium in In- glewood, while the Raid- ers and Chargers want to share a stadium in Carson. Most of the players de- flected questions about a possible move by saying it is outside their control. But Carr did say the big- gest impact would be on the families of players and coaches. "People always think about us, but they shouldn't," he said. "They should think about our wives, our kids. Some peo- ple have kids in school, so they have to move and those kinds of things. It af- fects them way more than it affects us. We just show up and work. That's how we've been trained. That's our process. It definitely af- fects them more." Defensive tackle Dan Williams said the uncer- tainty is much harder on married players with fam- ilies than those without. "Me as a single guy, I go with the flow," he said. "But I definitely enjoyed my short time here in Oakland. The fans have received me with open arms and I can feel the support here. They love the Raiders and what- ever happens, happens, but at the same time if we stay here I'll be more than happy." The Raiders played this past season on a one-year lease at the Oakland Col- iseum and are seeking a new home. The Coliseum is the only remaining NFL stadium to also be home to a baseball team and lacks many of the modern, money-making features of new stadiums. While owner Mark Da- vis has expressed inter- est in staying in Oakland, the city has yet to come up with a firm financing plan to build a new stadium. That has led to the inter- est in going back to Los Angeles, where the Raid- ers played from 1982-94. Del Rio, who grew up in the East Bay attend- ing games at the Oakland Coliseum, said: "I'm back home. I love the fact that I'm back home but it's not my position. As a head football coach it's my job to get this team ready to play and make sure we're competitive." Raiders FROM PAGE 1 mistake. San Francisco reached three straight NFC cham- pionship games in Har- baugh's initial three years, with a three-point Super Bowl loss to Baltimore af- ter the 2012 season. "Jim Harbaugh is a good football coach. His success at Michigan doesn't sur- prise me at all," York said. "We need to make sure that we look forward to the next head coach." York promoted Tomsula from defensive line coach inasurprisingmove,choos- ing the former NFL Europe coach over current Bears of- fensive coordinator Adam Gase and former defensive coordinator Vic Fangio — also now with Chicago. "I'm not looking back at anything, you can't undo those decisions," York said. "I'm moving forward." "Sometimes you're going to make the right decision and sometimes you're going tomakethewrongdecision, andI'vedoneboth.Wehired JimHarbaughandwehired Jim Tomsula," Baalke said. "Some would say one was a strong hit and the other one was a miss. ... You get hum- bled by decisions you make that you think are going to work." He added, "We've got to get this one right." San Francisco has a short list of coaching candidates. Baalke said no interviews hadbeenscheduleandthere are no in-house candidates. "We're in need of some- body who can win Super Bowls, period. We haven't won a Super Bowl since 1994," York said. "We have a clearunderstandingofwhat we want. We want a leader, we want someone who has a clear vision." York realizes the scrutiny he faces trying to win back frustrated fans, yet he said heis"emotional"andvowed to stay off Twitter and not become a "distraction," as happened during the 2014 season. Before a home game against the Bengals last month, a plane flew over Levi's Stadium with a ban- ner that read "Hold Jed Ac- countable," a reference to his remarks at the end of last season inviting every- one to do so. On Sunday, themessageflyingoverhead read: "Jed Here's Our Ban- ner — Where's Yours?" "This season was frus- trating on a number of lev- els. We took a step back from our ultimate goal of winning a Super Bowl," York said. "For that, I want to apologize to our fans and everybody that cares deeply about this team the way I do. I hear the criticism, loudly. Whether that's talk- ing to fans directly, whether that's social media, or from planes flying over my head. The results this season rest onmyshoulders,squarely.It wasn't good enough." 49ers FROM PAGE 1 JULIO CORTEZ — THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Former New York Giants head coach Tom Coughlin walks off the field a er the Giants lost 35-30to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday in East Rutherford, N.J.
