Fourth-year Seattle Seahawks tackle Sean Locklear will miss the rest of the preseason, according to head coach Mike Holmgren. An MRI came back negative on Tuesday, meaning the 301-pound lineman has tendonitis, and should be ready by Week 1 of the regular season.

Commentary: Losing a starting tackle like Locklear would have been devastating for the Seahawks, and, luckily, he won't be gone for long.

"The MRI came back negative, so he had some tendonitis in the leg," Holmgren said. "It's sore...so now we just have to let him take his medicine and let that thing quite down a little bit."

Fantasy Football Impact: None. Running back Shaun Alexander and quarterback Matt Hasselbeck still remain top-tier fantasy options.
