The Seahawks will again be without starting quarterback Sam Darnold for Sunday’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders, head coach Mike Macdonald said Monday on his weekly appearance on Seattle Sports 710AM.
Darnold missed Sunday’s win over the Cardinals due to quadricep and rib injuries, leading to Drew Lock starting in his place. Lock, who came into the game managing an elbow injury, also injured his oblique in the game, but Macdonald said the plan is for Lock to start again when the Seahawks travel to Las Vegas in Week 10.
“Good exam for Drew,” Macdonald said. “He’s dealing with an oblique, and I think it’s something we can manage with him playing the game. Sam will be another week, so it’ll be a similar plan to last week.”
Macdonald did not have any specific updates on players who missed Sunday’s game due to injury, but he did say, “We’re optimistic on a bunch of guys, but we’ll see how the week shakes out.”
In addition to Darnold, the Seahawks were also without defensive tackle Leonard Williams (stinger), receiver Rashid Shaheed (knee), left tackle Charles Cross (ankle), left guard Quenton Nelson (knee), outside linebacker Uchenna Nwosu (ankle) and nose tackle Brandon Pili (back).
