Seahawks WR Tyler Lockett’s hand repair held up ‘famously’ Week 17

Even though he suffered a leg injury against the Jets, Seattle Seahawks WR Tyler Lockett’s hand repair held up ‘”famously” in Week 17.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett made an impressive comeback from his hand surgery, missing just one game before returning to play the New York Jets in Week 17.

It was a different injury that limited his playtime on Sunday.

“He got his leg kicked and got a lower leg contusion that bothered him right in the area where he had hurt his leg before,” coach Pete Carroll said during his Monday morning radio show on Seattle Sports. “It was really sore during the game, and so he tried to get through that and got back in the game a little bit, but he got banged.”

While Lockett was only able to log two catches against the Jets, the good news is his surgically-repaired hand held up perfectly and shouldn’t be an issue going forward.

“He made it through the hand thing famously,” Carroll continued. “That’s crazy. That’s so crazy. There’s no words to describe his competitiveness and his will to be ‘part of,’ you know. He was amazing. That was great stuff.”

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett left the Monday night matchup against the San Francisco 49ers with a leg contusion and was unable to fly home with the team after the win.

Lockett spent two nights in a Bay Area hospital for evaluation before returning to Seattle.

Seahawks coach Pete Carroll provided an update on Lockett’s status during his press conference Monday afternoon.

“They took great care of him and all that,” Carroll explained. “Everything worked out fine. Now, he’s just on the road back. We’re optimistic about it, but he’s still going to have to do it. The extra days absolutely are helping us here, so we’ll take full advantage of that.”

The Seahawks, who just resumed practice after their bye week, were able to enjoy some much needed time to relax and recover. The additional days off could mean Lockett won’t have to miss a game due to his injury.

“He’s doing better, he’s doing better,” Carroll said. “We’ll know later in the week his status. We’re hoping and planning on him being able to play, but yet, he has to show it to us. So, we’ll see.”

Seattle has an off day Tuesday before returning to the practice field on Wednesday to prep to face the Eagles on the road.
