“It’s legit and all that, and now we have to determine what’s the suitable approach to go,” Carroll stated. “I can not even fathom that — I can not fathom taking part in with out Tyler. … We’re gonna miss the heck out of him, no matter (time) he misses.”
Lockett was Seattle’s main receiver on Thursday evening, as he caught seven passes for 68 yards. Coming into this matchup, Lockett had caught 71 of 99 targets for 896 yards and eight touchdowns with a 71.7% catch price.

If Lockett had been to overlook a while, Marquise Goodwin and Penny Hart would probably be requested to step up in his absence. It’s price mentioning that Dareke Young caught a 22-yard move within the third quarter on Thursday evening that will have gotten the Seahawks to the 49ers’ 2-yard line, however the catch was negated resulting from a holding penalty.
