Tyler Lockett has been diagnosed with a broken right index finger and is in doubt for the final three games of the regular season.
Lockett suffered the injury late in Seattle's Thursday evening loss to the 49ers. Coach Pete Carroll said it's unclear if Lockett will require surgery, but that it is similar to an injury Rashaad Penny suffered in the 2018 preseason. Although it was not a long-term issue, it sidelined Penny several weeks, and Lockett doesn't have several weeks to get healthy with only three games remaining. His loss would elevate Marquise Goodwin into the No. 2 spot opposite target hog DK Metcalf, and make life that much more difficult for a struggling Geno Smith. If Lockett is done, he will finish 36 yards shy of his fourth straight 1,000-yard campaign. We should get more information on Friday.
