Lock Takes Helm: Seahawks QB Situation Unclear
12 Nov
Summary
- Sam Darnold is out for Week 10 with rib and quad injuries.
- Drew Lock will start against the Raiders, managing his own injuries.
- Several other key Seahawks players are also dealing with injuries.
Drew Lock is set to start for the Seattle Seahawks in their upcoming Week 10 game against the Las Vegas Raiders. This decision comes as starting quarterback Sam Darnold has been officially ruled out, sidelined by rib and quad injuries. Darnold's return is tentatively expected after the Seahawks' bye week, potentially in Week 12. Lock, who led the Seahawks to a 17-3 victory over the Cardinals in his last start by completing 19 of 28 passes for 175 yards and a touchdown, is also managing his own injuries, specifically to his right elbow and quadriceps. He was limited in practice on Wednesday. The Seahawks are navigating a significant number of injuries across their roster. In addition to Darnold and Lock, several other players did not practice, including offensive tackle Charles Cross (ankle), offensive guard Quenton Nelson (knee), defensive tackles Brandon Pili (back) and Jarran Reed (personal), wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba (rest), and defensive tackle Leonard Williams (stinger). Further complicating matters, offensive guard Anthony Bradford (knee), linebackers Derick Hall (back), Uchenna Nwosu (ankle), Patrick O'Connell (toe), and Connor O'Toole (foot) were limited participants in practice.
