Team news: Seattle Seahawks

Seahawks RB Alex Collins (abdomen) is questionable for Week 17 against the Detroit Lions.

Collins is the most likely player to cut into Penny's carries, but Collins is best left on the waiver wire Championship week.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson practiced Wednesday, but showed limitations due to his sprained ankle.

It is great to see Jackson practice, but it is clear he is far from healthy. If Jackson gets in limited practices Thursday and Friday he may play Week 17.

“This journey for me is far from over,” Rashaad Penny said, via Adam Jude of the Seattle Times. “I knew what I could do. I mean, again, it’s just I was never on the field. It’s unfortunate, but I’m thankful for whatever I’ve been doing these last few weeks. I couldn’t have done it without these guys giving me an opportunity to show what I can do and just never giving up on me.”

Penny ran 17 times for 135 yards and a touchdown in the 25-24 loss to the Bears to continue his first extended run as a starter since being drafted in the first round of the 2018 draft. Penny ran for 137 yards and two touchdowns two weeks ago and said the last few weeks have been “a big milestone” because he’s stayed healthy and shown he can be productive after his career went off track because of injuries. Penny looks to have a chance to extend his story right into 2022, but staying healthy will be the obvious key for his success.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett has been activated from the reserve/COVID list.

Lockett missed Week 15 while in health and safety protocols but is set to return for Week 16. Russell Wilson looked lost without his most reliable receiver, so Lockett's return should help the offense operate more smoothly against the Chicago Bears. Lockett is currently our 11th ranked wide receiver for Week 16.

The Seattle Seahawks added TE Will Dissly to the reserve/COVID-19 list, while RB Alex Collins was removed from the list.

Hearing it’s looking unlikely that WR Tyler Lockett will be activated off the COVID-19 list in time for tonight’s game against the Rams.

He’s one of nine Seahawks on the list, according to Henderson. The deadline to activate those players for this game is 1 p.m., which is West Coast time and 4 p.m. on the east. Owners may want to at least make sure it's official but always good to have a backup plan. Swain and Eskridge could be desperation plays if needed.
