Seahawks’ Kenneth Walker III questionable, Tyler Lockett out

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Wide receiver Tyler Lockett was officially ruled out for Week 16 with a hand injury, and the Seattle Seahawks are crossing their fingers running back Kenneth Walker III can play.

Walker is officially questionable with ankle and back injuries. The team’s leading rusher with 696 yards and nine touchdowns, Walker failed to top 50 rushing yards for the fourth consecutive game last week.

The backup to Walker, DeeJay Dallas, was listed as questionable with an ankle injury.

Lockett is 12th in the NFL in receptions with 78, one behind teammate DK Metcalf, and leads Seattle with eight TD receptions. He underwent surgery for the broken finger he sustained during his team’s final drive in last week’s loss to the San Francisco 49ers. The team is hoping he can return for the final two regular season games.

Seattle also ruled out nose tackle Al Woods (Achilles) and safety Ryan Neal (knee).

Tight end Noah Fant (knee) and wide receiver Marquise Goodwin (wrist, ankle) are questionable.

Tyler Lockett among Seahawks locked in protocols, out vs. Rams

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Tyler Lockett was ruled out of Tuesday’s game against the Los Angeles Rams as part of a significant Seattle contingent unavailable to the Seahawks for the delayed Week 15 division matchup.

Lockett, the Seahawks’ leading receiver with 62 receptions for 1,023 yards, was the first player on the team last week to test positive for COVID-19 and entered health and safety protocol with the goal of testing out to play for Seattle.

But Lockett, who is vaccinated, did not receive clearance on Tuesday. None of the nine Seahawks placed on the COVID/reserve list were able to test out before kickoff.

The Rams were also without three starters, including offensive tackle Rob Havenstein, who were stuck in the protocols.

Seattle also took the field without starting right tackle Brandon Shell, starting cornerback D.J. Reed, running back Travis Homer and defensive end Kerry Hyder Jr.

Running back Alex Collins, added to the team’s COVID list the same day as Lockett, was also ruled out.

The Seahawks’ game against the NFC West rival Rams was moved to Tuesday night after Los Angeles had as many as 29 players on the reserve/COVID-19 list, including players from the practice squad.

The Rams since activated a number of key players in recent days, including wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. and running back Darrell Henderson on Saturday, as well as cornerback Jalen Ramsey on Sunday.

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Seattle is no longer the only NFL team without a player on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

The Seahawks assigned wide receiver Tyler Lockett and running back Alex Collins in the NFL’s health and safety protocol on Thursday as the league experiences a record-breaking number of positive virus cases.

Both players are able to return for Week 15 on Sunday if they produce two negative tests in a span of 24 hours. The Seahawks said in September the team is 100 percent vaccinated.

Head coach Pete Carroll applauded his team Wednesday but noted the roster was just “hanging on” as a surge in positives thins rosters around the NFL.

Commissioner Roger Goodell said Wednesday there is no plan to postpone or reschedule games.

The Seahawks are on the road to play the Los Angeles Rams, one of the teams currently hardest hit by COVID.

Lockett is the Seahawks’ leading receiver with 1,023 yards — 8th in the NFL — and has been targeted a team-high 93 times.
