Sam Darnold will miss Sunday with a quad injury as Drew Lock gets the call for Seattle
Seattle ruled out Sam Darnold for Sunday's game against Arizona with a quad injury. He is week-to-week but will not go on injured reserve.
The Seattle Seahawks will be without their starting quarterback this weekend.
Sam Darnold has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals with a quad injury, coach Mike Macdonald said Wednesday.
Darnold got hurt at the end of Monday night's loss to the Chicago Bears. Macdonald called him week-to-week but said he will not be placed on injured reserve.
Lock steps in
Drew Lock is set to start with rookie Jalen Milroe as his backup.
Lock has missed the past two games with an elbow injury. Macdonald said the team will get both quarterbacks ready.
"We have full confidence in those guys and will have a plan in place," Macdonald said.
He has done it before
Lock filled in early this season when Darnold hurt his glute on the first series of the opener against the New England Patriots.
Over those first two weeks Lock threw four touchdown passes without an interception. In a 31-7 win over Arizona in Week 2 he went 19 of 26 for 235 yards and three scores.
Champs at .500
Monday's loss dropped the defending Super Bowl champions to 4-4.
