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.
