Rookie receiver and return specialist Tyler Lockett had another massive game for the Seahawks. The five-time Pro Bowler said X-rays on his hand were negative and claimed he would have remained in the game had it been a regular-season contest.

The Seattle Seahawks suffered a 14-13 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 2 of the NFL Preseason.
Teams also are trying to walk the tightrope of getting regulars game-action while limiting the amount of time they could suffer injuries out on the field.
There was an overriding message Russell Wilson and the Seahawks wanted to share Saturday night.
On the next Charger possession, Rivers lofted a pass to Keenan Allen on a fade in the end zone.
Seattle then drove down the field to give Hauschka a shot at a 60-yard field goal.
But rather than gain some needed momentum while going against a San Diego defence filled with backups, that drive only added to the frustration. In fact, those four drives netted a combined total of 40 yards.
Turning the ball over to the Chargers, QB Philip Rivers and rookie Melvin Gordon are two players who San Diego fans are probably drooling over – and are still waiting to see more of. He’s guaranteed to be a force to be reckoned with each week, whether it’s on special teams or on the defensive line. OK, that’s not really a saying. Michael had one nice run, however it was disappointing to see him make little effort to turn it into a touchdown.
Vegas betting expert Steve Fezzik doesn’t expect the bad situation in Oakland to get much better this season.
The deal, which keeps Jones in Atlanta through the 2020 season, includes guarantees of $47.5 million. So while there may be a question mark after Seattle’s offense this month, there is an exclamation point on the return game.
Novak also made a 32-yarder goal in the first quarter. This is the first time Clark has ever rushed from the inside, and he says he’s still getting used to it after three preseason games in the new role.
San Diego quarterback Kellen Clemens, a Burns native, tossed a short pass in the third quarter to Branden Oliver, who turned it into a 70-yard touchdown. The Chargers’ attempt at a two-point conversion was squelched, Seattle thereby maintaining its lead 13-12.
