Seattle Seahawks star wide receiver Tyler Lockett missed the Week 15 loss to the Los Angeles Rams because of COVID-19. Lockett returned for a Week 16 loss to the Chicago Bears.

Ahead of the Seahawks' Week 17 tilt against the Detroit Lions, Lockett opened up on his bout with COVID. The Seahawks star dealt with a pretty nasty case of it:

Lockett, naturally, wasn't back at 100% against the Bears:

The Seahawks star only had three catches for 30 yards in the disappointing loss to Chicago. It's hard to blame him for not producing given his COVID situation, plus the fact that game was being played in a blizzard.

For insight on the Seahawks' Week 17 matchup against the Lions, listen below:

Let's hope that Lockett is fully past COVID and is feeling better now. Seattle is out of the playoff race at this point thanks to a 5-10 record, but the wideout will still want to finish the season strong. He has recorded his third straight 1,000-yard season, racking up 65 catches for 1,053 yards and five touchdowns.

There could be big changes coming in Seattle soon, with questions surrounding the futures of Russell Wilson and Pete Carroll. Lockett signed a contract extension earlier in 2021, so he's set to stick around for a while unless the franchise looks to really blow things up and trades him.

For now, though, Lockett is focused on getting healthy and finishing out the year well.
