Seahawks Quarterback Sam Darnold Ruled Out Against the Cardinals with a Quad Injury
Drew Lock is expected to start as Seattle prepares for another quarterback if Sam Darnold remains sidelined, coach Mike Macdonald said.
- On Wednesday, Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald announced that starting quarterback Sam Darnold will miss Sunday's Week 9 game against the Arizona Cardinals due to a quadriceps injury sustained during Monday night's loss to the Chicago Bears.
- Darnold suffered a cracked rib on the opening series of Monday's loss before sustaining the quad injury late in the game, leaving him week-to-week without requiring injured reserve placement, according to Macdonald.
- Drew Lock is slated to start Sunday's rematch after throwing for 235 yards and three touchdowns in a 31-7 victory over the Cardinals earlier this season, though he is managing an elbow injury.
- Third-Stringer Jalen Milroe will serve as backup for Sunday's game at Lumen Field, while Macdonald noted the team may add another quarterback this week for roster depth as they manage both passers' health.
- The 4-4 Seahawks hope Darnold returns before their Week 11 bye, with his availability for the November 15 road game against the Las Vegas Raiders remaining open as the team navigates quarterback depth challenges.
