Injuries: Tannehill Re-Injures Ankle, Lockett Breaks Finger

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett – Finger

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett will have surgery on his broken finger and could be back as early as Week 17, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. According to the Seahawks team website, Lockett received a “very optimistic review” from team doctors that would suggest Lockett has a chance to return quickly. According to our injury data, more than 75% of all players with fractured or broken finger injuries return to play within three games of the initial diagnosis.

Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill – Ankle

Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill was carted off against the Los Angeles Chargers with an ankle injury but eventually returned to finish the game. According to head coach Mike Vrabel, Tannehill will start next week against the Houston Texans if he is healthy enough, per Titans team reporter Jim Wyatt.

Tannehill previously played through an ankle sprain in Week 7 of this year before sitting out in Weeks 8 and 9. This was apparently a re-aggravation of that same injury.
