After suffering a serious neck injury last season, Seattle Seahawks receiver Ricardo Lockette will announce his retirement Thursday, a league source confirmed.
Lockette played in 34 games for the Seahawks over five NFL seasons, finishing his career with 22 catches for 451 yards and four touchdowns. He was also a standout special-teams player.
In Week 8 against the Dallas Cowboys, Lockette was covering a punt when he got hit by safety Jeff Heath. Lockette suffered a concussion, along with disk and ligament damage in his neck.
