The Seattle Seahawks hope Tyler Lockett will become a focal point of the offense once again in Week 15 versus the Carolina Panthers. After a week of practice, Russell Wilson claims Lockett is back to being his usual self.
“Yeah, I think Tyler’s ready to roll – 100%,” Wilson said. “He looks fresh and ready to play some great football. We got a three-game push right here. One game at a time. We’re looking forward to that opportunity. Everything that we want is ahead of us. We’re 10-3. There’s no time for ‘woe is me’ or anything like that. We’re ready to roll and we’re looking forward to the opportunity of finding ways to win and getting to the playoffs hopefully and hopefully go a long way.”
Going back to Week 10, Lockett suffered a leg contusion against the San Francisco 49ers on Monday Night Football. The injury was serious enough for the big-play wideout to remain in San Francisco until his leg was no longer swelling.
Fortunately for the Seahawks, the team had their bye week in Week 11; giving Lockett a week to recover. Along with his leg injury, Lockett also had to recently deal with an illness that carried throughout Seattle's locker room.
In his past three games, Lockett has only hauled in five receptions for 81 yards and zero touchdowns. Before the injury, Wilson's favorite target had contributed 62 receptions, 793 yards, and six touchdowns.
With another week under his belt, Seattle believes Lockett is feeling the best he has since earlier in the season. That is not something you want to hear if you're a member of Carolina's secondary.
