Seahawks QB Darnold out for Cardinals game with quad injury

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 4 Nov, 20:33 · Archive

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold is ruled out for Week 9 against Arizona Cardinals due to a quad injury.

Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold is ruled out for Sunday's Week 9 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals due to a quad injury, head coach Mike Macdonald announced on Wednesday. Darnold also suffered a cracked rib in the opening offensive series of Monday's loss to the Chicago Bears, where he took three sacks in Seattle's 34-17 defeat.

Drawing Lock will start in Darnold's place. Lock has been serving as emergency quarterback after suffering his own right elbow injury during a practice a couple of weeks ago. Macdonald said Lock is able to throw but his workload will be managed during the week. Jalen Milroe will back up Lock and get practice reps in case Lock's elbow causes problems.

Darnold is week-to-week and will not be placed on injured reserve, which would require him to miss at least four games. Macdonald left open the possibility that Darnold could return for Week 10 against the Raiders before Seattle's bye week in Week 11. The team may also add another quarterback to the roster for depth before Sunday's game.
