Seahawks' Tyler Lockett: Intends to be available for opener

Lockett (leg) said Monday that he will play in Sunday's game against the Broncos, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Lockett has been sitting out practice since Aug. 14 due to a leg issue that wasn't considered to be serious by coach Mike Macdonald. On Monday, the veteran wideout relayed that his lack of activity was maintenance related, and he's healthy and ready to go to begin the 2024 campaign. The Seahawks won't post their first injury report until Wednesday, at which point how he's listed will confirm his standing. Prior to racking up 894 receiving yards in 17 regular-season games last year, Lockett had put together four consecutive 1,000-yard campaigns.
