Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold will miss Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals due to a quad injury. Coach Mike Macdonald announced Darnold is week-to-week and will not be placed on injured reserve. Drew Lock is slated to start, with Jalen Milroe as backup.
Darnold sustained the injury at the end of Monday night's loss to the Chicago Bears. He missed most of the first two games due to a glute injury from the season opener against the New England Patriots. In Darnold's absence, Lock posted the sixth-best Total QBR (82.5) over the first two weeks, throwing four touchdowns with zero interceptions. In a Week 2 win over Arizona, Lock went 19 of 26 for 235 yards and three touchdowns.
Monday night's loss dropped the defending Super Bowl champion Seahawks to 4-4 this season. The team has full confidence in Lock and Milroe as they prepare to play.
