Renton, Wash. — Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett will undergo surgery to repair a broken bone in his left hand but the team is optimistic he could return before the end of the regular season.
Coach Pete Carroll said Friday that there is no set timeline for Lockett's return but there is hope the standout receiver may only be sidelined for a short time.
“Very optimistic review this morning from the docs that he’s got a chance to get back quickly, and we’ll see if it can happen,” Carroll said.
Lockett was injured late in Seattle’s 21-13 loss to San Francisco on Thursday night.
