Ricardo Lockette: “Am I about to die?”
Retired Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Ricardo Lockette opens up about the injury that ended his career and the perspective that such events often bring.
The NFL career of wide receiver Ricardo Lockette came to a sudden end in the middle of last season. Our last images of him in a Seattle Seahawks uniform will be of him being carted off the field in Dallas after being strapped to a board to stabilize his head and neck.
What we were told in the days that followed was that Lockette didn’t have a spinal cord or vertebrae injury, which was great news. Instead he had muscle and ligament damage that required surgery to stabilize his neck.
