Coach Pete Carroll said Lockett is "really back" in form this week, Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reports. "He was pretty good last week and he's going into this week rarin' to go," Carroll said.
Lockett is entering a second straight week without being listed on the Seahawks' injury report, as John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site notes. The wide receiver's Week 14 performance also backs up Carroll's comments. Lockett put up four catches (on six catches) for 43 yards in Sunday's loss to the Rams. By putting the shin contusion he suffered Week 10 at San Francisco further in the rear-view mirror, Lockett is poised to pounce on a Panthers defense that has given up the third-most receiving yards (185.2 per game) to wideouts this season.
