The Seattle Seahawks have been without starting right tackle Abe Lucas since Week 1. He went down against the Los Angeles Rams, and missed the next 12 weeks. Lucas did make his triumphant return in Week 13 to play the Dallas Cowboys.
Although the Seahawks fell on the road to the Cowboys, the offense looked the best it has in months. Seattle scored 35 points against one of the better defenses in the NFL. While he split time with veteran Jason Peters, Lucas’ impact in both the run and pass game was evident. The Washington State standout took to the media to discuss his first game back.

Lucas has another tough challenge on Sunday, having to slow down both Chase Young and Nick Bosa for the 49ers. If the Seahawks want any chance at an upset, they will have to keep Geno Smith – or Drew Lock – clean.
