Seahawks Thursday practice report: Luke Willson a full participant

RENTON – “Pretty darn healthy” was how Seahawks coach Pete Carroll described his team on Monday as it got back to work following a bye. Seattle’s practice reports the last two days have indicated as much.

Tight end Luke Willson (toe) was the only player other than wide receiver Ricardo Lockette who wasn’t a full participant Wednesday because of an injury, but Willson practiced without limitation on Thursday.

Defensive end Michael Bennett didn’t practice Thursday, but his absence is listed as not injury-related. That was the case on Wednesday for running back Marshawn Lynch, but he was back on Thursday. Left tackle Russell Okung (toe/ankle) was a full participant on Wednesday and again on Thursday. He appears to be fine after missing the Dallas game.

Wide receiver Paul Richardson and nickelback Jeremy Lane aren’t listed on Seattle’s practice report. They’re not required to be because they’re both still on the Physically Unable to Perform list and not the Seahawks’ 53-man roster. Richardson is expected to play Sunday while Lane’s status is still up in the air. Carroll described his level of participation on Wednesday and Thursday as limited.

The Seahawks are expected to place Lockette on injured reserve before Sunday’s game, which would clear the roster spot they would need in order to activate Richardson. Until then, Seattle is required to list Lockette on its practice report. That’s why he’s been included the last two days – listed as out – even though Carroll said the day after Lockette injured his neck against Dallas that he wouldn’t play again this season.
