Seahawks Wide Receiver Ricardo Lockette remains in Texas to undergo neck surgery Monday afternoon, following a devastating hit during a punt return during the Dallas Cowboys game on Sunday. According to an article by Sportspress Northwest, Lockette’s prognosis is good and he sent out an upbeat message on Twitter before the surgery for ligament damage.
Both the hit, by Cowboys safety John Heath, and Dallas coach Jason Garrett’s response, or lack of it, have been criticized by Seahawks players. Defensive end Michael Bennett said that Garrett should have come out on the field to check on Lockette, who was treated on the field for several minutes before being placed on a neck board to be taken to a hospital. Heath said he felt horrible.
