Nabs extension from Seattle
Lucas and the Seahawks agreed Thursday on a three-year, $46 million contract extension, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
A 2022 third-round draft pick, Lucas had been scheduled for free agency this spring, but the extension will keep him on the Seahawks' books through 2028. Lucas emerged as the Seahawks' top right tackle coming out of his first training camp and started in 16 games as a rookie, but he was limited to just 13 appearances between 2023 and 2024, primarily due to a pair of knee surgeries. He missed the Seahawks' Week 18 win over the Rams last season due to an abdominal injury, but he enjoyed a normal offseason and looks to be back to full health entering the 2025 campaign.

Able to take part in OTAs
Lucas (abdomen) has been participating in the Seahawks' offseason training activities, Cameron Van Til of Seattle Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
Lucas suffered an injury to his abdomen late last season and was placed on IR ahead of Seattle's regular-season finale. Van Til reports that Lucas "appears to be in great shape and moving well" while working with the first-team offense during OTAs, so he seems to be mostly healthy again, though he implied Wednesday that he's not quite 100 percent. Lucas' health this season will be a key factor for Seattle's offensive line, as the 2022 third-rounder is slated to start at right tackle.

Feels good going into offseason
Lucas said Tuesday that the abdominal injury that kept him out in Week 18 against the Rams isn't long-term, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Lucas had a surgery on his knee in January of 2024 after dealing with lingering issues the season prior, and he wasn't able to return for the most recent campaign until November. Then, the Seahawks sent him to their injured reserve list ahead of the regular-season finale with an abdominal issue, meaning he was only to appear in seven games over the year. He'll be hoping to avoid the injury bug in 2025.

Lands on IR due to abdomen injury
The Seahawks placed Lucas (abdomen) on injured reserve Saturday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

Won't play in regular-season finale
Lucas (abdomen) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rams, Colin Gunther of the Seahawks' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Lucas was unable to practice all week due to an abdominal injury, and his absence Sunday means he is done for the 2024 regular season. He missed the first nine games of the season due to a knee injury, but he returned in Week 11 and started at right tackle in the following seven contests. Michael Jerrell and Stone Forsythe are the top candidates to start at right tackle Sunday due to Lucas' injury.

Full participant Thursday

ANALYSIS

Moves off PUP list
Lucas (knee) was activated from the PUP list Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Lucas' 21-day window to practice with the team was coming to a close, so if Seattle didn't move him to the active roster, he'd be lost for the remainder of the season. However, the 26-year-old has been practicing on a limited basis for the last couple of weeks and according to head coach Mike McDonald, Lucas has looked "really good" and it's a "realistic expectation at this point," for him to play Sunday against the 49ers, as reported by Brady Henderson of ESPN.com.
Nov 1, 2024
Unavailable for Week 9
Lucas (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Rams, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

ANALYSIS
The third-year pro will have now missed the Seahawks' first seven games this season due to a knee issue. Macdonald added that he's hopeful Lucas can return to practice soon, which suggests a return to the field may be on the horizon. Expect Stone Forsythe to continue serving as Seattle's top right tackle until Lucas is past his knee injury.
Aug 28, 2024
Opening season on PUP list
Lucas (knee) was placed on the reserve/PUP list Tuesday, John Boyle of the team's official website reports.

Starts camp on PUP list
The Seahawks Lucas (knee) on the active/PUP list Thursday, John Boyle of the team's official website reports.
ANALYSIS

May 26, 2024
Hopeful for training camp
The Seahawks are hopeful Lucas (knee) will be ready for training camp, Nick Lee of the team's official website reports.
ANALYSIS
Chronic knee issues limited Lucas to just six games in 2023 after playing 16 during his rookie campaign. The issues dated all the way back to his time at Washington State and was ultimately surgically repaired this offseason. Given the team's optimism regarding his chances at returning for training camp, his chances at being ready for Week 1 are looking good at this point. The third-year pro projects to start at right tackle when healthy.

ANALYSIS
Lucas is working his way back from knee surgery undergone at the end of the 2023 regular season, so it's encouraging that there's no real concern about his status for Week 1. The expectation will be for Lucas to start at right tackle, when healthy.
Feb 28, 2024
Undergoes knee surgery
Seahawks general manager John Schneider revealed Wednesday that Lucas underwent knee surgery following the 2023 season.
ANALYSIS
Lucas started 16 games as a rookie in 2022 but battled constant knee issues last season and was limited to just six contests. It sounds like it was more of a cleanup procedure for Lucas, and he should be ready well ahead of Week 1 in September.
Jan 6, 2024
Missing Week 18
Lucas (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.
ANALYSIS
Lucas logged three consecutive DNPs during Seattle's week of practice after exiting the team's Week 17 loss to the Steelers with a knee injury, so it's no surprise that he won't play Sunday. If Jason Peters (questionable, foot) is able to suit up in Week 18, he'll likely assume the Seahawks' starting right tackle duties. Otherwise, Stone Forsythe is expected to be the next man up.
Dec 31, 2023
Won't return versus Pittsburgh
Lucas (knee) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's contest against the Steelers.
ANALYSIS

ANALYSIS
Lucas has been on injured reserve since suffering a knee injury during Seattle's Week 1 loss to the Rams, and after a full week of practice, he's expected to start at right tackle Thursday night. Head coach Pete Carroll told reporters that Lucas "practiced really well," and the team is "counting on him to be able to help and contribute," in Week 13's contest. With Lucas likely back at right tackle, expect Jason Peters to now serve as a backup offensive lineman for Seattle.
Nov 22, 2023
Not expected to play Thursday

ANALYSIS
Lucas continues to recover from a knee issue that landed him on injured reserved in mid-September. The second-year lineman was designated to return from IR last week, but he appears to need more time before he's ready for game action. Lucas' next chance to suit up will come Thursday, Nov. 30 in Dallas.
Nov 17, 2023
Unlikely to return Week 11
Lucas (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams but isn't expected to play, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Seahawks coach Pete Carroll indicated that Lucas didn't suffer any setbacks after returning to practice this week following a nine-week stint on injured reserve. However, the offensive tackle appears to need more time before he's ready for game action. Assuming he is in fact held out Sunday, Lucas' next chance to suit up will come on Thanksgiving versus San Francisco.
Nov 15, 2023
Returning to practice this week
Seattle designated Lucas (knee) for return from its injured reserve list Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
After spending the past nine weeks on the Seahawks' injured reserve list, Lucas finally appears to be close to returning to action ahead of Week 11. Seattle's injury reports this week will shed light on his potential availability for Sunday's game at the Rams.
Oct 16, 2023
Unlikely to play vs. Cardinals
Coach Pete Carroll said Monday that he doesn't think Lucas (knee) will return in Week 7, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
In all likelihood, it appears Lucas is set to sit out for a fourth consecutive game when Seattle hosts Arizona. Jake Curhan (ankle) is now dealing with an injury of his own, opening the door for the 41-year-old Jason Peters to potentially start at right tackle in Week 7.
Sep 15, 2023
Getting knee surgery
Lucas (knee) is expected to have a procedure done in the coming days, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Seattle's starting right tackle was placed on injured reserve Wednesday and head coach Pete Carroll told reporters Friday that a knee surgery is in Lucas' near future. The 24-year-old will likely be replaced by Jake Curhan until he returns from his procedure.
Sep 13, 2023
Headed to injured reserve
The Seahawks placed Lucas (kneecap) on injured reserve Wednesday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Lucas will now be out for at least four weeks after leaving Sunday's loss with an injured kneecap. Jake Curhan will likely start while Lucas is out, though the team also signed Jason Peters to the practice squad earlier this week, and he could be an option to fill in as well.
Sep 11, 2023
Considered day-to-day
Head coach Pete Carroll noted Monday that tests on Lucas' knee haven't shown any damage and is dealing with soreness to his patella tendon, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Lucas left Sunday's game against the Rams when his knee flared up. He'll work this week on managing his injury in hopes of suiting up against the Lions on Sunday.
Sep 10, 2023
Dealing with knee soreness
Lucas has been diagnosed with a sore knee after exiting Sunday's game against the Rams, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Lucas also dealt with a knee issue during training camp, and the injury flared up during Sunday's regular-season opener. It's not yet clear whether he'll be available for next Sunday's matchup in Detroit.
Sep 10, 2023
Questionable to return
Lucas is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Rams due to a knee injury, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Lucas appeared in 16 games for Seattle last year, but it's unclear whether he'll be able to return to Sunday's regular-season opener. If he's unavailable down the stretch, Jake Curhan could see increased playing time for the Seahawks.
Jul 27, 2023
Full strength again
Lucas (shoulder) was consistently working with Seattle's first-team offensive line Wednesday, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
ANALYSIS
Lucas had shoulder surgery in the offseason but has since had time to move past the issue. The second-year tackle was working exclusively with the first-team offensive line at right tackle. The Washington State product started all 16 games he appeared in last season, and now that he's healthy, he'll rejoin Seattle's other second-year tackle, Charles Cross, on the starting line.
Jun 1, 2023
Should be ready for training camp
Head coach Pete Carroll announced that Lucas (shoulder) is expected to be healthy for the start of training camp, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Lucas is nearing his return after receiving shoulder surgery earlier in the offseason. The 24-year-old started all but one of Seattle's games last season as well as their wild-card loss to the 49ers and should be expected to have a similar role during the upcoming campaign.
Jan 12, 2023
Back at full health
Lucas (knee) managed to practice fully Thursday, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
ANALYSIS
After missing the Seahawks' Week 17 matchup against the Jets, Lucas managed to play all 70 offensive snaps in Seattle's Week 18 win over the Rams. The offensive tackle has practiced fully all week and will be available for Seattle's wild-card matchup against San Francisco barring any setbacks.
Jan 1, 2023
Not playing Sunday
Lucas (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jets.
ANALYSIS
Lucas will now miss his first matchup of the 2022-23 campaign as a result of the patellar tendon injury he suffered in Week 16 versus the Chiefs. Stone Forsythe is currently in line to command starting right tackle duties this weekend against the Jets.
Dec 26, 2022
Nursing patellar tendon injury
Head coach Pete Carroll said Monday that he was wrong about Lucas' injury after Saturday's loss to the Chiefs, saying that it wasn't his elbow, but instead a patellar tendon issue, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Lucas departed this past weekend's game against Kansas City with what was originally called an elbow issue but later revealed as a patellar tendon injury. While the severity of the 322-pounder's issue have yet to be revealed, Stone Forsythe would likely operate as Seattle's starting right tackle should Lucas miss any additional time.
Dec 24, 2022
Aggravates elbow issue
Coach Pete Carroll said Lucas exited Saturday's 24-10 defeat in Kansas City after aggravating an elbow injury, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
While his departure in the second half Saturday was attributed to a thigh injury, Lucas instead appears to be dealing with an elbow issue. He did make an appearance on the Seahawks' first practice report of Week 16 as a full participant and with "elbow" attached to him Tuesday, but he wasn't listed Wednesday or Thursday. It remains to be seen if the rookie third-round pick is in danger of sitting out Sunday, Jan. 1 versus the Jets.
Dec 24, 2022
Exits with injury
Lucas (thigh) is questionable to return to Saturday's game against the Chiefs.
ANALYSIS
Lucas has started all 15 games at right tackle for Seattle this season. In the rookie's absence, expect Stone Forsythe to step in against Kansas City.
Nov 27, 2022
Set to play Sunday
Lucas (illness) has been ruled active for Sunday's game against the Raiders.
ANALYSIS
Lucas was a late addition to the Seahawks' Week 12 injury report after he popped up with an illness over the weekend. Nevertheless, the third-round rookie is set to play and will start at right tackle against Las Vegas, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
Apr 29, 2022
O-line add for Seattle
The Seahawks selected Lucas in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft, 72nd overall.
ANALYSIS
Lucas looks like a nice pick for the Seahawks. The Washington State product played at right tackle in college and will likely stay there for the Seahawks with first-round pick Charles Cross on the left side. Lucas is incredibly athletic, boasting a 4.92-second 40 and excellent quickness at 6-foot-6, 315 pounds.
