Tyler Lockett hurt in a Seahawks Game

Tyler Lockett is a key member of the Seattle Seahawks, the 2022 NFL season's biggest overachiever. Many analysts predicted a down year for Seattle at the start of the season and following the Russell Wilson trade.

However, like a famous singer said, "point to the greatest skeptic, and I'll make him a believer" the Seahawks have risen above all the mediocre projections. The Seahawks offense has been particularly impressive, led by Geno Smith and the ever-impressive Lockett. They have been so impressive that heading into week 16, they have a good chance of making the postseason.

However, the Seahawks' strengths will be tested, as their number one wide receiver, Lockett, is battling a broken index finger. The Kansas State University alum had surgery on the broken index finger on Monday and thus started the recovery process.

Pete Carroll, the Seattle Seahawks head coach, had stated that Lockett could be available for the week 17 fixture but not their week 16 game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Seattle fans will wish Lockett a speedy recovery and good health for the rest of their players.
