RENTON — The Seahawks returned to practice Monday following their bye week, an extra period of time that the team thinks will further allow receiver Tyler Lockett to be available for Sunday’s game at Philadelphia.
Lockett, who suffered a contusion in his left leg, wasn’t on the field during the portion of practice open to the media, a relatively light workout held indoors, but he was in attendance.
Lockett had to stay behind for two days following the win over the 49ers due to concerns over swelling if he flew, and the possibility of compartment syndrome.
But Lockett returned to Seattle on Wednesday in owner Jody Allen’s private plane and coach Pete Carroll said Monday his recovery continues to progress with the hope that he will be able to return to full duty this wee.
