Seahawks send Lockett, Collins to COVID-19 reserve

The Seattle Seahawks placed wide receiver Tyler Lockett and running back Alex Collins on the COVID-19 list Thursday, the team announced.

Seattle has only placed one other player - tight end Gerald Everett - on the reserve this season. Everett previously missed two contests after testing positive.

Lockett leads the Seahawks in receiving with 1,023 yards, while Collins tops the team in rushing with 411 yards. Lockett has been a focal point of the offense for years, whereas Collins moved into a starting role for six games when Chris Carson and Rashaad Penny were both injured.

The Seahawks are gearing up to face the Los Angeles Rams in Week 15. Seattle has catapulted itself back into the NFC playoff race with back-to-back wins.
