Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll assured everyone on Twitter that he was fine on Saturday after colliding with an official during a preseason game the night before.

Carroll unfortunately found himself caught in the highlights of the Seahawks' preseason game against the Denver Broncos. While third-round 2015 draft pick Tyler Lockett returned a kick in the second quarter for what became a 103-yard touchdown, Carroll's would-be celebration was cut short before it could really get started.

Minus the collision, it truly was a terrific return by Lockett, even if Carroll said he "didnt see the last 20" yards of the play after getting knocked down by the referee.

Im doing well. As a matter of fact I feel pretty good, under the circumstances. I saw him, too, and I couldnt get out of the way," Carroll said of the official.

The coach was also handed a 15-yard penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct , but fortunately for the Seahawks, it was enforced after Lockett scored the touchdown.

I was jumping up and down for Tylers return, and Im disappointed that I didnt get to see him finish," Carroll told The Seattle Times after the game.
