Lockett tied DK Metcalf with the team lead in receptions while checking in second in targets. The speedy veteran also had the ball taken from him by the 49ers' Ambry Thomas for Geno Smith's one interception of the night, and his yardage total was his lowest since Week 1. It doesn't get any easier for the Seahawks offense in Week 13, as they face the Cowboys on the road in a Thursday night matchup.
Lockett has been a regular on Seattle's injury report for the last six weeks with a hamstring issue. His full participation Tuesday indicates he is on track to suit up for Thursday's matchup with the 49ers. The veteran pass catcher recorded five receptions on seven targets for 51 yards on a season-low 57 percent of his team's offensive snaps in the Seahawks' Week 11 loss to the Rams.
As he has for six weeks in a row now, Lockett is dealing with a hamstring injury as the Seahawks prep for a game. Last week, he didn't practice at all but was able to suit up Sunday at the Rams, gathering in five of seven targets for 51 yards while playing a season-low 57 percent of his team's offensive snaps. Seattle likely will take it easy on Lockett this week, too, and Wednesday's injury report will reveal whether or not he has an injury designation ahead of Thursday's contest versus the 49ers.
Lockett has been dealing with a bum hamstring for several weeks, but his status appeared to truly be questionable leading up to Sunday's eventual start. The Seattle stalwart wound up providing an average fantasy line for managers who rolled the dice on his health. Lockett completed Sunday's contest without any setbacks, but it wouldn't be surprising to see his name remain on the injury report for the upcoming short practice week leading up to Thursday's matchup against the 49ers.
For five weeks running, Lockett has been impacted by a lingering hamstring injury, which didn't allow him to practice at all during Week 11 prep. A questionable designation for Sunday's game followed, but Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Saturday that Lockett was in line to suit up. With his availability now confirmed, Lockett will be looking to improve upon his 2-10-0 line on four targets that he put up against L.A.'s defense back in the season opener.
Lockett missed practice all week and is listed as questionable. A seasoned veteran, Lockett isn't someone who needs to practice in order to play on Sundays, but it's fair to wonder how close to 100 percent he is headed into Sunday. DK Metcalf and rookie Jaxon Smith-Njigba could be needed to pick up some extra targets if Lockett is limited in any way.
Lockett was listed as questionable with the same injury three weeks ago, when he put up an 8-81-1 line on Cleveland's top-notch secondary. He then avoided a game designation the past two weeks, but it sounds like his status is up in the air this time around after being held out of practice three days in a row. Carroll mentioned that the wide receiver did some running Friday and told reporters that he'll take things day by day with Lockett ahead of a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff this Sunday. A matchup with the division-leading 49ers four days later also could be a factor here, though losing to the Rams on Sunday would make it tough for the Seahawks to win any NFC West tiebreakers unless they win both of their games against the 49ers over the ensuing three weeks. Seattle has a brutal stretch of games after Sunday, facing the Niners, Cowboys, Niners and Eagles over the following four contests.
Listed on Seattle's injury reports for the past month, Lockett will enter the weekend with a designation for the second time. The first time was Week 8, when he ended up catching eight passes for 81 yards and a touchdown against an excellent Cleveland secondary. He seems more likely than not to play at this point, though an upcoming Thursday matchup with San Francisco in Week 12 could perhaps inspire the Seahawks to be more cautious than normal.
During his five-week stretch dealing with a hamstring issue, Lockett previously sat out the first two sessions of Week 8 prep before capping it with a full practice and a questionable designation ahead of game day. This week, he also has yet to practice, so he may be destined for a similar fate. Friday's injury report will unveil his potential to suit up for Sunday's road game against the Rams.
