Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold is in jeopardy of missing the Week 10 game against the Las Vegas Raiders due to a quad injury and cracked rib. Already ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Arizona Cardinals, Darnold sustained the rib injury on the second play of Monday night’s loss to the Bears and played through significant pain before aggravating his quad. Sources indicate the Seahawks are considering letting him rest through the next two games, which would give him three weeks to recover before a critical Week 12 matchup against the 49ers.
Drew Lock is expected to start in his place, despite dealing with a right elbow injury that has limited his participation in practice. Coach Mike Macdonald confirmed Lock’s availability is being managed cautiously. Additionally, third-string quarterback Jalen Milroe has been preparing to play if needed, though he hasn’t appeared in a regular-season game since Week 5 of last year.
