The Seattle Seahawks appear to have their full arsenal of wide receivers ahead of Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Pete Carroll says that Tyler Lockett is ‘ready to go' for Week 12 per Adam Caplan.

Two weeks ago, Lockett sustained a lower leg contusion against the San Francisco 49ers on Monday Night Football. The Seahawks were able to squeak out a victory over the 49ers, but Carroll was noticeably concerned with Lockett's injury.
When the injury occurred, there was a concern about the amount of swelling there was on his leg. As a result, the speedy wideout was forced to remain in the Bay Area to reduce the swelling before he could return to Seattle.
Luckily, over the Seahawks' bye week in Week 11, Lockett has made enough progress to return in Week 12. Over the course of the week, Lockett was able to practice with the team with little to no limitations.
That's great news for the Seahawks, who are trying to remain within striking distance of the 49ers in the NFC West. Without a doubt, having Lockett on the field makes Seattle's offense even more dynamic in the passing game.
In Lockett's fifth season in the NFL, he has combined for 62 receptions, 793 yards, and six touchdowns. Currently, Seattle's go-to wide receiver is on pace to have career highs in all three categories.
For Week 12, Lockett could be the deciding factor on whether or not the Seahawks are able to defeat the Eagles. With this news, Russell Wilson is breathing a sigh of relief, knowing he has his go-to weapon available.
