Lock Leads Seahawks vs. Cardinals Amid Injury Woes
20 Sep
Summary
- Seahawks face Cardinals in Week 2 divisional opener.
- Seattle has multiple key players sidelined with injuries.
- Drew Lock starts at QB for the Seahawks.
The Seattle Seahawks and Arizona Cardinals, both 1-0 after Week 1 wins, will kick off their NFC West division schedule on Sunday, September 20, 2026, at State Farm Stadium in Glendale. The Seahawks secured a hard-fought 13-10 victory against the New England Patriots despite a late injury to quarterback Sam Darnold. He will miss this matchup, as will safety Ty Okada and guard Anthony Bradford. Defensive back Nick Emmanwori's availability is uncertain following limited practices.
Drew Lock is set to start at quarterback for Seattle, making his first start since 2023. He will have wide receiver Tory Horton back from a hamstring injury. The Seahawks defense, which stifled the Patriots' offense in Week 1, will aim to contain Cardinals' quarterback Jacoby Brissett and tight end Trey McBride. A notable matchup will feature rookie running backs Jadarian Price for Seattle and Jeremiyah Love for Arizona, former Notre Dame teammates now facing each other. The Seahawks boast an historically strong run defense.
The game is scheduled for 4:25 PM ET/1:25 PM PT and will be broadcast on FOX with Chris Myers and Mark Schlereth on the call. Radio coverage will be available via 710 ESPN Seattle and 97.3 KIRO FM, with Steve Raible and Dave Wyman providing commentary. Online streaming options include NFL+, FOX ONE, Fubo.tv, Sling TV, Hulu TV, and YouTube TV. The Cardinals achieved a 26-14 win over the Los Angeles Chargers in their season opener.
