Seahawks WR Tyler Lockett day-to-day for Week 18 with leg injury

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett is day-to-day for Week 18 practices after suffering a leg injury against the New York Jets.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett survived a fractured hand and subsequent surgery to only miss one game, but now, it’s a new injury that could potentially keep him off of the field this week against the Los Angeles Rams.

Lockett suffered a leg contusion on Sunday in the Seahawks’ win over the Jets and struggled to return to the action. He was listed on the first practice report of the week with a shin injury.

“He’s still sore, we’re going to hold him out today,” coach Pete Carroll told reporters on Wednesday. “He won’t be able to go today. It’ll be a day-to-day thing for him as far as practice, but I know he’s determined to play.”

A seasoned veteran, clearly Lockett doesn’t need the practice time before facing off against the Rams and we should know his gameday status by Friday afternoon.

The Seattle Seahawks lost their first game of the season Sunday night, falling 37-34 to the Arizona Cardinals in overtime. While Seattle didn’t appear to sustain any serious new injuries, coach Pete Carroll did provide a number of player updates following the game.

Running back Chris Carson left the matchup in the first half with a foot injury and was unable to return to the contest.

“Chris has got a mid-foot sprain,” Carroll told reporters. “We don’t know until we get an MRI what that means or what the extent of it is.”

Cornerback Shaquill Griffin also left the game and underwent concussion testing before he was ultimately ruled out.

“He had a concussion enough to keep him out of the game,” Carroll explained. “He was pretty clear afterward, so we’ll just have to go through the protocol and see how he does.”

Finally, Carroll said running back Travis Homer suffered a knee contusion (bruise).

Hindered last few outings, Seahawks WR Tyler Lockett on the mend

After suffering a leg bruise and then battling an injury, Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett appears to be on the mend for Week 14.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett has had a rough couple of weeks. First sidelined after the Week 10 outing against the San Francisco 49ers, Lockett was battling an illness Monday night in the team’s win over the Minnesota Vikings.

Lockett has not yet been 100% since suffering the leg bruise in San Francisco. He did recover well enough over the bye week to appear in the next matchup against the Eagles but only posted one reception in the game.

Last Monday, Lockett also saw the field, although he was struggling to fight the illness that had been circling the Seahawks locker room throughout the week. He logged no catches in the win over the Vikings.

Coach Pete Carroll is hoping Lockett will be back to his usual self Sunday night when Seattle travels to Los Angeles to face the Rams in primetime.

“I’m anxious for him to have this week and get back at it, you know,” Carroll told reporters Wednesday. “He was really sick last week – real sick as a couple guys were – and it just takes a lot out of you. He’s doing better.”

The first practice report of the week will be released later Wednesday afternoon so we’ll get a glimpse at Lockett’s participation status then.

In show of sportsmanship, 49ers lend Tyler Lockett device to heal leg

The 49ers, after losing to the Seahawks, lent injured Seattle receiver Tyler Lockett the Game Ready machine he needed to help heal his leg.

Wide receiver Tyler Lockett and the rest of the Seattle Seahawks served the San Francisco 49ers their only loss of the year in Week 10. The 49ers then returned the favor with a true example of good sportsmanship.

San Franciso provided Lockett – who suffered a severe leg bruise in the game – with the medical device he needed to begin treatment.

“In the hospital after the game, sources say Lockett wanted to know if medical personnel had a Game Ready device – a new-age, high-end compression therapy unit used to accelerate recovery,” NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport reported. “The hospital did not have the device, which is used almost exclusively in athletics. Lockett then made an odd request: Do the 49ers have a Game Ready he could use?”

According to Rapoport, Lockett’s agent Andrew Kessler contacted the San Francisco staff with the request and the 49ers’ training staff promptly delivered the unit.

Lockett, who remained two nights in the hospital, was able to recover more quickly over the bye and appeared in the Seahawks’ next matchup against the Eagles.

While Lockett may not be 100% just yet, it was with the aid of a division rival and their Game Ready machine that helped the wide receiver get back on his feet.

Good sportsmanship at its best.
