RENTON Dion Jordan Color Rush Jersey , Wash. (AP) — Wide receiver Tyler Lockett is back to full strength and producing more than ever for the Seattle Seahawks.Another year removed from the broken leg that ended his 2016 season, Lockett again looks like the explosive threat he was in his first two years in Seattle. Lockett has already matched his career-high in touchdowns in just seven games played this season.“He’s been a big factor early in the year,” head coach Pete Carroll said.He caught six touchdowns as a rookie in 2015 but had managed just three over the last two seasons combined. He’s on pace to set career highs in catches, yards, yards per reception and touchdowns through the first seven games of 2018.“He’s really at his top speed right now and rolling, which his top speed is pretty fast,” quarterback Russell Wilson said.Even though Lockett played in all 16 games for Seattle last year, he never got back to 100 percent. He said he struggled to make it through practices last year.“It’s hard to get somebody an opportunity who can barely make it through practice,” Lockett said. “Even though I was finding ways and still looked like myself and (could) run around in the games, it was just harder to be able to put myself in a position to help the team in an expanded role.”But even though Lockett has caught a touchdown in all but one game for the Seahawks this season, he quickly shot down any notion that it’s a significant achievement to him.“Nothing,” Lockett said. “I just go out there and play and have fun with my teammates and try to make the best out of every opportunity. You never know when you’re going to get the ball or the ball is going to be thrown your way.”While it may not mean anything to Lockett Tedric Thompson Color Rush Jersey , it has meant a great deal to the team.With Doug Baldwin a bit slowed this year due to a pair of knee injuries, Lockett has helped carry the scoring output for Seattle. His six receiving touchdowns are among the best in the NFL. Antonio Brown (8), Tyreek Hill (7) and Eric Ebron (7) are the only players with more receiving touchdowns, though Hill and Ebron have each played one more game than Lockett.“He’s come through so many challenges,” Baldwin said. “That injury he had a couple years ago, that wasn’t a little injury. That was a very significant injury when it happened. I was on the field and saw it and it was heartbreaking. … You don’t know how people respond to that. If they have the mental fortitude to come back from something that significant. Tyler has done a miraculous job to say the least.”Notes: RB Chris Carson (hip), LB K.J. Wright (knee) and SS Bradley McDougald (knee) are all questionable to play against the Chargers on Sunday. Carroll said Wright and McDougald should be good to go while Carson will be a game-time decision. … CB Neiko Thorpe (groin) and G Jordan Simmons (calf) are doubtful. The Seahawks are still waiting for their acquisition of Texans defensive end Jadeveon Clowney to be finalized as Barkevious Mingo and Jacob Martin remain on their 53-man roster for the time being following the league’s 1 p.m. PT deadline to trim rosters.The league transaction wire has Clowney signing his franchise tag tender with Houston, which was a necessary step in completing the deal with the Seahawks. However, the only trade completed as a part of Saturday’s roster moves with the acquisition of cornerback Parry Nickerson from the New York Jets for a conditional seventh-round pick. When the trade finally gets processed with physicals completed, Clowney will be added to the roster and Seattle will have an open roster spot.That could explain one of the more interesting developments of Seattle’s roster moves on Saturday. The team released veteran quarterback Geno Smith and waived Paxton Lynch as well, leaving Russell Wilson as the only quarterback on the team’s roster. They will need a backup quarterback and Smith seemingly won the job with his play throughout the preseason. But as a veteran Smith doesn’t have to clear waivers, which could allow Seattle to release him and re-sign him Sunday (perhaps with some financial incentive attached) to give them the temporary flexibility to complete the Clowney trade and get Mingo and Martin off the roster. Once completed they will have an open roster spot to bring Smith back. As an added bonus Ethan Pocic Color Rush Jersey , it could allow the team to get any injured players (tight end Ed Dickson, center Joey Hunt, linebacker Shaquem Griffin) to the injured reserve list to preserve their ability to return later in the season as well, if needed.For the time being, Smith was one of nine veterans released by Seattle on Saturday along with fullback Nick Bellore, wide receiver Jaron Brown, defensive end Cassius Marsh, defensive tackles Earl Mitchell and Jamie Meder, center Marcus Martin and defensive backs Deshawn Shead and Jamar Taylor.Defensive tackle Jarran Reed was moved to the reserve/suspended list, where he’ll be for the next six weeks following a suspension for a domestic incident. Guard Jordan Simmons was placed on injured reserve following knee surgery. Rookie draft picks guard Phil Haynes (sports hernia) and defensive tackle Demarcus Christmas (back) remain on the physically unable to perform list and will also be out at least six weeks.Cornerback Jeremy Boykins and linebacker Justin Currie were waived/injured.Additional players waived by Seattle were: quarterback J.T. Barrett running backs Bo Scarbrough, J.D. McKissic and Xavier Turner, receivers Jazz Ferguson Shaquill Griffin Color Rush Jersey , Khalil Lewis, Nyquan Murray, Keenan Reynolds and Terry Wright, tackles Elijah Nkansah and Bryan Wallace, guards Will Holden, Jordan Roos and Landon Turner, tight ends Jacob Hollister, Jackson Harris and Wes Saxton, linebacker Jawuan Johnson, Logan Tago and Juwon Young, cornerback Simeon Thomas and safety Shalom Luani.
