Team news: Seattle Seahawks

The Seahawks placed WR Marquise Goodwin (shoulder, wrist) on injured reserve Saturday.

Goodwin's season is effectively over unless the Seahawks make a run to the NFC Championship Game. That would be the earliest he could return. Goodwin worked as the No. 3 receiver with time as No. 2 due to injuries. With Tyler Lockett back, whoever Seattle's WR3 is, whether that's Laquon Treadwell or Penny Hart or Dareke Young, won't have much fantasy value, especially in a tough matchup against the Jets.

Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett hopes to return after missing one game to have surgery on a broken finger and his bid got off to a positive start on Wednesday.

Head coach Pete Carroll said, via Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times, that Lockett “did everything” at the team’s walkthrough practice.

The story went on to say Carroll said that there’s been no decision about playing Lockett against the Jets, but said that the wideout “was excellent” during Wednesday’s workout and that he was catching passes without pain.

Seahawks have just announced tight end Will Dissly is going on Injured Reserve with a knee injury suffered Saturday, so his season is over.

Both Fant and Parkinson could see increased roles. Fant did catch a TD last week against the Chiefs but finished with a 2-12-1 line while Parkinson had three catches for 45 yards.

Pete Carroll says he expects Kenneth Walker III to play Saturday as well as DeeJay Dallas. Said Neal’s knee just didn’t bounce back this time.

If all is well with the backfield health, Ken Walker will return to his role of workhorse while Dallas and Homer split the leftovers. Walker can be considered an RB2 for Week 16.

Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said before practice Tuesday that Ken Walker was “a little sore coming out” and would not practice, and then seemed to imply it’s not certain that Walker will play against the Chiefs.

“We will see how this week goes,” Carroll said. “We have to give him every day to get back.”

Shortly after, it was revealed that the Seahawks had re-signed veteran Gallman to the practice squad, which is at least a sign they aren't sure of Walker's status for Week 16. Walker is dealing with what the team was calling a "jammed" foot, which caused him to miss Week 14's game. Seattle travels to KC in an early Saturday game so owners will be able to adjust lineups depending on Walker's status.

Seahawks receiver Tyler Lockett underwent surgery on his hand Monday, coach Pete Carroll announced. Lockett could return as soon as Week 17.

Carroll called the surgery “perfect.”

Lockett broke his finger in last Thursday’s loss to the 49ers. He has 78 receptions for 964 yards and eight touchdowns this season. With Lockett out, Metcalf should be the top target with Goodwin likely stepping into the WR2 role and he may be worth a look if he's still on your wire.

Wide receiver Tyler Lockett suffered a broken finger against the San Francisco 49ers, Seattle head coach Pete Carroll announced after the game, and there is uncertainty as to whether he'll be able to play again this season. NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Friday that Lockett suffered a spiral crack in his first metacarpal, an injury that will force him out for at least two games and indeed threatens the rest of his season, per a source.

It seems very unlikely that we will see Lockett again this season unless the Seahawks find their way into a playoff spot. One would assume that Marquise Goodwin will see more time on the field, but there is no 1v1 replacement for Lockett on the team, which could mean a target share increase for DK Metcalf.

RB Ken Walker (foot) has no status and will play.

Walker missed last week's game with what the team called a jammed foot. While it's good news Walker is ready go to, he's struggled a bit since Week 10 (10-17-0, but did catch six balls for 55 yards) and then off the bye week went 14-26-2 against the Raiders before getting hurt in Week 13, where he ran three times for 36 yards before leaving the game. This week, on Thursday night, Walker gets the 49ers defense. Regardless of the matchup, he should be heavily involved and fresh after missing Week 14.
