The Seattle Seahawks will rely on their backup quarterback for at least one more week as they prepare to face the Las Vegas Raiders.
Sam Darnold Remains Out With Multiple Injuries
Quarterback Sam Darnold has been ruled out for Sunday’s upcoming matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders, head coach Mike Macdonald announced on ESPN Radio in Seattle. Darnold is currently dealing with a quad injury and a cracked rib, and the team hopes he might be able to return following the Seahawks’ Week 11 bye.
Drew Lock Expected to Start Despite Oblique Injury
Drew Lock stepped in for Darnold and guided the team to a 17-3 victory over the Arizona Cardinals, completing 19 of 28 passes for 175 yards and a touchdown. Although Lock sustained an oblique injury and tendinitis in the second half of that game, further evaluation brought positive news for the seventh-year signal-caller. Macdonald stated during his radio interview, as reported by The Athletic, that Lock underwent a good examination and that the team can manage his oblique issue, believing he can once again fill in as the starter.
