Tyler Lockett made Seahawks history in the first quarter vs 49ers

Tyler Lockett made Seahawks history in the first quarter vs 49ers

It has been evident for several years now that Tyler Lockett is easily the second best receiver in the history of the Seattle Seahawks. He trails only the legendary Steve Largent in receptions, yards and receiving touchdowns. On Sunday, he now joins Largent in another category.

In the first quarter against the San Francisco 49ers, Lockett officially became the second player in franchise history to record 13,000 total combined yards as a Seahawk.

As a receiver, Lockett going into this game had 8,450 yards through the air. As a rusher, he has an additional 265. But what helped push Lockett over the edge are his 4,266 return yards – both kick and punt returns. When combining these stats with his 510 receiving yards in the playoffs, you’ve got a number eclipsing the 13,000 combined mark.

Congrats to Lockett, who continues to prove he is one of the best players to ever put on a Seahawks uniform.

Right now, the Seahawks trail the 49ers 7-3 with 0:10 seconds left in the first quarter. Lockett has two receptions for 19 yards.

Seahawks WR Tyler Lockett announces he and his wife are expecting a child!

Big news for Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett! On Friday evening, the Seahawks legend announced on his personal Instagram account that he and his wife, Lauren, are now expecting their first child! Tyler and Lauren were married in the middle of July 2023. Now, their family is officially expanding!

It has been somewhat of a quiet, yet productive, season on the field for Lockett. He is third on the team with 34 receptions for 456 yards and two touchdowns. Against the Rams, Lockett hauled in three passes for 63 yards and a score.

Overall, Lockett is still easily the second best receiver to ever put on a Seahawks uniform. He is second all time behind only the legendary Steve Largent in touchdown receptions. Now, he can add something far more important to his resume than football:

Being a father.

We at Seahawks Wire want to congratulate the Lockett family for this wonderous news. Babies are a blessing, and there is always room for yet another 12th Man… or Woman.

Seahawks Week 9 injury report: DK Metcalf still not practicing

Seahawks Week 9 injury report: DK Metcalf still not practicing

The Seattle Seahawks have a must-win game this weekend against the Los Angeles Rams. It will determine if they can stay competitive for the division lead, or fall to dead last in the NFC West. Unfortunately, after Wednesday’s practice, they have quite a lengthy injury report.

The most concerning name is of course star wide receiver DK Metcalf, who is not practicing. Metcalf missed last week’s game against Buffalo due to a Grade 1 MCL sprain he suffered in Week 7. Metcalf did not practice last week, and is starting off the week with the same status.

Some good news is the fact Abe Lucas and George Fant remain limited participants. It may be a while before either see the field, but these are encouraging signs for their progression forward.

The full injury report from Wednesday’s practice can be seen below.

Did Not Participate:

  • WR DK Metcalf – Knee
  • WR Laviska Shenault Jr. – Knee
  • CB Devon Witherspoon – Foot
  • DE Leonard Williams – NIR/Rest

Limited Participation:

  • T George Fant – Knee
  • T Abe Lucas – Knee
  • WR Tyler Lockett – Oblique
  • LB Dre’Mont Jones – Shoulder
  • CB Nehemiah Pritchett – Ankle
  • NT Cameron Young – Knee
  • TE Noah Fant – Groin
  • G Laken Tomlinson – NIR/Rest

Full Participation:

Seattle Seahawks’ 5 highest graded players in Week 7 according to PFF

Seattle Seahawks’ 5 highest graded players in Week 7 according to PFF

Several Seattle Seahawks players put forth excellent performances in Sunday’s dominant 34-14 Week 7 victory over the Atlanta Falcons. Each week, Pro Football Focus grades every qualifying player in the league. This week, the following Seahawks talents were the five highest-graded performers.

Kenneth Walker III | 87.7

Kenneth Walker III was outstanding on Sunday, rushing for 69 yards and a touchdown via 14 carries en route to averaging an effective 4.9 yards per carry. The dual-threat Walker also added two receptions for 24 yards and an additional score to his offensive totals. Seattle’s excellent running back was understandably their highest-graded player.

Derick Hall | 87.7

Derick Hall didn’t record a sack on Sunday despite already having five QB takedowns this campaign. That doesn’t mean the former Auburn standout didn’t make an impact. Hall returned a 36-yard fumble recovery on a Boye Mafe strip-sack for his first career touchdown. He also recorded four pressures.

DK Metcalf | 80.6

DK Metcalf suffered a knee injury in the victory, but he still managed to make a massive impact. The rocked-up Metcalf recorded four receptions for 99 yards and a touchdown, and even caught Jaxon Smith-Njigba’s first career passing attempt. We’ll monitor Seattle’s WR1 and his injury status ahead of a matchup with the Buffalo Bills in Week 8.

Julian Love | 79.1

With Rayshawn Jenkins on IR, and various other secondary defenders sidelined, including Riq Woolen, the Seahawks were counting on receiving a consistent performance from veteran safety Julian Love. That’s exactly what they got. Love totaled nine tackles, and more importantly, recorded his second interception of the season.

Tyler Lockett | 77.8

Tyler Lockett continues to be ole reliable. The 2015 draftee hauled in four receptions for 45 receiving yards. Lockett has recorded 45-plus receiving yards in every contest this season, minus the Week 2 win over the New England Patriots. When Geno Smith is in a bind, he scans the field for his most consistent receiving threat.

Will DK Metcalf play vs Bills this week? Latest injury update for Seahawks WR

Will DK Metcalf play vs Bills this week? Latest injury update for Seahawks WR

The Seattle Seahawks secured a 34-14 win over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday to snap their three-game losing streak, but it may have come at a bit of a cost. Star wide receiver DK Metcalf, after a phenomenal performance which saw him haul in four passes for 99 yards and a touchdown, left the game early with an apparent knee injury.

When asked about it postgame, head coach Mike Macdonald seemed optimistic about Metcalf’s condition, but would know more on Monday. Well, Monday is here, and now we know more. Per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Metcalf is dealing with a Grade 1 MCL sprain, and as such, he is considered “week-to-week” for his availability.

For those who are unfamiliar with how the grading system for MCL’s work, a Grade 1 sprain means some tenderness and minor pain. For reference, linebacker Uchenna Nwosu suffered a sprained MCL in the preseason finale, which kept him out until Week 5, had a Grade 2 sprain.

The Seahawks have an impending showdown with the Buffalo Bills this coming weekend, and at this time, we do not know if he will play or not. Obviously, this is not a game Seattle would want to be without Metcalf, or the following week against the Los Angeles Rams. However, in Week 10 the team will have their bye.

If Metcalf is to miss some time, the silver lining is the Seahawks are deep at wide receiver. Expect Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Tyler Lockett to have increased roles in an offense without No. 14 in the lineup, as well as getting tight ends Noah Fant and AJ Barner more involved.

Of course, Seahawks Wire will have you covered for all injury related news for Metcalf this week and beyond.

Seahawks WR’s Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf are a historic duo

Seahawks WR’s Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf are a historic duo

You do not need to hear it from me to understand the Seattle Seahawks have a dynamic duo at wide receiver. Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf are a combo that routinely make defenses pay, and they have been doing so ever since they became teammates.

It can be easy to forget sometimes just how truly dominant these two are, which is why we at Seahawks Wire are more than happy to remind fans everywhere. Since the 2019 season, Metcalf and Lockett have combined for 86 receiving touchdowns. This is second only to the duo of Mike Evans and Chris Godwin of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Not to give any disrespect to Russell Wilson, who was sublime in 2019 and 2020, but Evans and Godwin had a ridiculous advantage on their side. They had a quarterback by the name of Tom Brady throwing them the ball. You know, simply the greatest of all time. No big deal.

Lockett and Metcalf routinely prove themselves each week by being forces to be reckoned with. So far on the year, Metcalf has 31 receptions for 469 yards and two touchdowns. As for Lockett, he has hauled in 26 catches for 339 yards and a score as well.

Seattle will need both playing a high level if they want any chance at escaping Atlanta with a road victory.

Seahawks Week 7 injury report: Tyler Locket did not practice

Seahawks Week 7 injury report: Tyler Locket did not practice

The overall health of the Seattle Seahawks continues to be a major concern for this team. On Thursday’s practice, wide receiver Tyler Lockett was added to the “did not participate” list. Alongside him is cornerback Riq Woolen, and regrettably, right tackle Stone Forsythe.

This is now two days in a row where Forsythe did not participate. Considering he is already Seattle’s third-string right tackle, not having him in the mix for Sunday will be an even worse blow to a position decimated by injury this season.

The full practice report can be seen below.

Did Not Participate:

  • T Stone Forsythe – Hand
  • CB Tre Brown – Ankle
  • CB Riq Woolen – Ankle
  • WR Tyler Lockett – Knee
  • RB Kenny McIntosh – Foot

Limited Participation:

  • DT Byron Murphy II – Hamstring
  • S Jerrick Reed II – Knee

Full Participation:

  • G Anthony Bradford – Toe
  • WR Laviska Shenault Jr – Back
  • C Connor Williams – Chest
  • LB Boye Mafe – Knee
  • DE Leonard Williams – Knee
  • S Julian Love – Hamstring/Quad

Seahawks veteran WR Tyler Lockett dishes on 3-game losing streak

Seahawks veteran WR Tyler Lockett dishes on 3-game losing streak

The Seattle Seahawks dropped their third consecutive contest on Thursday, losing 36-24 to their NFC West arch rival San Francisco 49ers. It was an extremely sloppy performance by the Seahawks, who are now 3-3 despite starting the new campaign at a perfect 3-0.

Veteran wide receiver Tyler Lockett was among Seattle’s best performers. Lockett recorded four receptions for 65 yards and a touchdown. His late fourth-quarter score gave the Seahawks hope of attempting a come-from-behind victory. San Francisco’s next play from scrimmage went for a 76-yard run.

Lockett discussed the defeat with reporters on Thursday evening.

“I haven’t seen anybody give up out here,” Lockett said. “When I first got to the league, you’d hear stories about, obviously when you get close to the playoffs, you’ll see teams tap out and players check out. We’re not going to check out on each other. We’re going to fight to the very end. Even though we lost the game, we were still trying to score at the end. We can’t just tap out, we can’t just throw in the towel. Our players, our coaches, they’re not going to do that. You’ll see who you really are in the face of adversity. We’re going to press through instead of running away from it.”

It’s encouraging to hear that Seattle’s locker room is sticking together through a three-game losing streak. The Seahawks have an incredibly difficult slate of upcoming games, so that togetherness is necessary. Following the defeat on Thursday Night Football, the Seahawks travel to Atlanta after this mini-bye to face the Kirk Cousins-led Falcons before returning to Lumen Field to host the Super Bowl contending Buffalo Bills.

Lockett will need to continue rallying his teammates in the face of adversity.

Seahawks legends Steve Largent and Tyler Lockett share a birthday

Seahawks legends Steve Largent and Tyler Lockett share a birthday

September 28th is a day Seattle Seahawks fans are going to have to start circling on their calendar. Earlier on Saturday we reported how the 28th was wide receiver Tyler Lockett’s birthday, and how he is the second best wide receiver in Seahawks history. The first of course is Steve Largent, who also happens to celebrate his birthday on September 28th!

Perhaps it is fate these two are forever connected, even as much as sharing the date of their birth, and birthplace of Tulsa, OK.

Fans in the Pacific Northwest will always recognize the greatness of Steve Largent, but it always helps to remind folks just how elite he was. Not only was Largent the undisputed face of the franchise for the Seahawks in their early years, he was inarguably the best wide receiver in the NFL during his prime. When Largent finally called it a career, he was No. 1 in NFL history when it came to receptions, yards and receiving touchdowns.

In fact, Steve Largent was the first wide receiver to catch 100 touchdown receptions.

As for Tyler Lockett, who trails only Largent in the all-time Seahawks receiving leaderboards, has won an award named in his honor, twice. Every year, the Seahawks give out the Steve Largent Award, which is given to the Seahawks player or coach who best exemplifies the spirit, dedication and integrity of the Seahawks. Lockett took home these honors in 2021 and 2022.

When walking around Seattle on game day, seeing Largent’s No. 80 jersey is a common sight and has been for decades. But these days, Lockett’s No. 16 is one of the more frequent jerseys I see each week the Seahawks play at Lumen. I have a feeling we will continue to see No. 16 long after Lockett is done playing, the same way we’ll always see No. 80 around.

Happy birthday to Seahawks WR Tyler Locket!

Happy birthday to Seahawks WR Tyler Locket!

Happy birthday to one of the best Seattle Seahawks of all time! On Saturday, wide receiver Tyler Lockett turned 32 years old. It’s wild to think we’re talking about Lockett as an old veteran these days. It seems only yesterday he was a third round pick in the 2015 NFL draft. Since then, he has established himself as one of the best wide receivers in Seahawks franchise history.

It is not an exaggeration to suggest Lockett is No. 2 all time at the position, behind only the legendary Steve Largent. All-time, Lockett is No. 2 in receptions (625), yards (8,132) and touchdowns (59). While he may not quite reach the lofty marks set by Largent (819 receptions, 13,089 yards and 100 touchdowns) he is going to remain near the top of the leaderboards for quite some time.

Lockett has been a reliable weapon for years, and one of the most underrated players in football. From 2019-2022 Lockett eclipsed 1,000+ yards receiving, and was close in both 2018 (965) and 2023 (894). So far this year, Lockett has 13 receptions for 138 yards… and caught the game-sealing reception on third down to ice the victory over the Denver Broncos in Week 1.

Now, Lockett and the Seahawks will play the Detroit Lions in Week 4 on Monday Night Football. The last time Lockett was in Detroit, he caught the game-winning touchdown pass from Geno Smith.

Wherever Lockett is today or whatever it is he has planned, we at Seahawks Wire hope he is celebrating in style with friends and family.
