Pete Carroll: Bruised Tyler Lockett should be OK long term

Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said Tyler Lockett "should be OK going forward" after the star wide receiver spent Monday night in a Stanford hospital because of a leg injury.

Carroll said Tuesday on ESPN 710 Seattle that Lockett suffered a serious bruise to his shin that required immediate treatment at a Stanford hospital.

Carroll did not indicate whether Lockett needed surgery.

A source told ESPN's Dan Graziano that because the Seahawks have a bye in Week 11, it's possible that Lockett won't miss any games.

Lockett suffered the injury in the fourth quarter of Monday's overtime victory over the San Francisco 49ers.
