Report: Seahawks star Lockett expected to play vs. 49ers

At 1-2, the Seattle Seahawks face a must-win situation early in the NFL season Sunday when they travel to Levi's Stadium to face the 49ers (2-1).

Seattle should have its top two wide receivers for the Week 4 clash as Tyler Lockett, who was listed as questionable during the week with a hip injury, is expected to play, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Sunday, citing sources.

Star receiver DK Metcalf also was limited during the week with a sore foot, but Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said they were just giving Metcalf some rest and the Ole Miss product is expected to be a go Sunday.
