He tweeted the news Monday that he was headed back to the Pacific Northwest ("Otw home to Seattle!!!!") and also posted a short video on Instagram in which, at the end, he showed himself in the neck brace and sunglasses aboard a private jet.

Although the Seahawks have yet to make a roster move related to Lockette's injury, the Seattle Times reported that he is expected to miss the remainder of the season because of the injury and subsequent surgery at Baylor Medical Center in Dallas.
