Seahawks WR Tyler Lockett had broken tibia, fibula

Dec 26, 2016

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett had surgery early Sunday morning to repair a fractured tibia and fibula in his right leg, coach Pete Carroll said.

"He had a great surgery, and they say in four to six weeks, he'll be up, moving and getting on the AlterG [treadmill] and working and all that," Carroll said on 710 ESPN Seattle's "Brock and Salk" show. "So it's a very secure job they did. They've got some issues with infection and stuff they have to fight right now to make sure he comes through clean. That's because there was a little break in the skin. But other than that, he's got a chance to have a great recovery."

Fantasy Impact:

Carroll said later in the day that Lockett should be ready for the start of training camp.

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.
