Ricardo Lockette to have neck surgery, prognosis good

Nov 02, 2015

The Seattle Seahawks, in a statement released Monday morning, said that receiver Ricardo Lockette will have surgery to repair ligament damage in his neck.

Here’s the full text of the statement: “Wide receiver Ricardo Lockette sustained ligament damage in his neck that requires surgery to stabilize. He will undergo surgery this afternoon at Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas. He has full motion and feeling in all extremities and his prognosis is good. We will provide an update following surgery.”

Fantasy Impact:

It's great news following what was a scary situation. The injury will sideline Lockette for the rest of the season, coach Pete Carroll said during his regular weekly day-after radio show on ESPN 710 Seattle. Lockette was injured while covering a punt late in the first half of Sunday’s 13-12 win at Dallas when he was hit hard by Dallas’ Jeff Heath.

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
