Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett (thigh) is expected to play versus the Denver Broncos, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported, per a source. Lockett has since been declared active.
Lockett, who led the team with 122 targets and 79 receptions in 2023, was a limited participant in practice to begin the week. He turned into a full participant in Friday's practice, earning the questionable injury designation heading into Sunday's season opener.
Tight end Pharaoh Brown and linebacker Uchenna Nwosu were ruled out for Week 1.
Seattle will have a new head coach on the sideline with Mike Macdonald taking over for Pete Carroll. Lockett is expected to suit up and play in front of The 12s against Denver.
The Broncos and Seahawks kick off at 4:05 p.m. ET.
Other injuries we are keeping an eye on ahead of Sunday's Week 1 games:
- Chicago Bears wide receiver Keenan Allen (heel) and defensive end Montez Sweat (toe) are expected to play in Sunday's game versus the Titans, Rapoport reported. Allen and Sweat are officially active.
- Detroit Lions defensive end D.J. Reader (quad) is not expected to play versus the Rams on Sunday night after being limited in practice this week, Rapoport reported.
- Miami Dolphins cornerback Jalen Ramsey (hamstring) will attempt to play in Sunday's game versus the Jaguars, Rapoport reported. If Ramsey plays, he will likely be on a pitch count, Rapoport added. Ramsey is officially active.
- Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson (calf) is officially inactive and quarterback Justin Fields will start versus the Atlanta Falcons.
