Although the Seattle Seahawks had a far shorter injury report on Thursday than the day prior with most of their banged up players progressing to full participants, four notable starters remained out, including receiver Tyler Lockett and linebacker Bobby Wagner, putting their respective statuses for Sunday against the Cleveland Browns in question.

Though he played in a 20-10 win over the Arizona Cardinals, Lockett was limited in practice last week due to his hamstring strain. As for Wagner and Ken Walker III, both players apparently tweaked their ankles during the victory and have sat out the first two practices of the week. Veteran guard Phil Haynes, who missed his second game of the season last week with a lingering calf injury, also has remained sidelined.
