{"id":2129,"section":"sports","section_label":"Sports","url":"https://www.brokenews.co/sports/2129","headline":"Seahawks' QB picture clears up some before Raiders game","dek":"Sam Darnold is ruled out for Week 10, but initial tests suggest backup Drew Lock can play through his oblique injury.","body":"Seattle's quarterback situation went from bad to slightly less bad on Monday. Head coach Mike Macdonald told Seattle Sports 710 ESPN that Sam Darnold will not play this Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders, continuing the absence that started last week. Darnold had already missed Week 9 with quad and rib injuries.\n\nThe better news belongs to Drew Lock, who stepped in for Darnold and helped grind out a win over the Cardinals despite playing through multiple injuries himself, including the oblique issue that put his Week 10 status in doubt. Macdonald said initial tests on that oblique injury came back good, and the team believes Lock can start against the Raiders.\n\nHad Lock been unable to go, Seattle was reportedly looking at turning to Jalen Milroe. For now, the Seahawks get to avoid that scenario, leaning on a backup who has already shown he can manage a game while banged up. The oblique injury remains something to monitor as the week progresses, but as of Monday, Seattle expects Lock behind center against Las Vegas.","published_at":"2026-11-10T00:04:03.683033+00:00","source_count":4,"written_from":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Seahawks have serious QB issues ahead of Week 10","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/seahawks-serious-qb-issues-ahead-180714002.html"},{"outlet":"The Athletic","publisher":"The Athletic","title":"How Drew Lock, Seahawks gutted out a win with injuries piling up: 'That dude's a beast'","url":"https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7766574/2026/11/09/drew-lock-injury-seahawks-cardinals/"},{"outlet":"CBS Sports","publisher":"CBS Sports","title":"Drew Lock suffers oblique injury, Week 10 status up in the air: Seahawks could have to start Jalen Milroe","url":"https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/drew-lock-suffers-oblique-injury-week-10-status-seahawks-could-start-jalen-milroe/"},{"outlet":"Pro Football Talk","publisher":"NBC Sports","title":"Drew Lock has an oblique injury, \"up in the air\" for Week 10","url":"https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/drew-lock-has-an-oblique-injury-up-in-the-air-for-week-10"}],"more_coverage":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Seahawks QB Drew Lock dealing with ‘severe tendinitis’ ahead of Cardinals game","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/seahawks-qb-drew-lock-dealing-193656422.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Drew Lock has an oblique injury, "up in the air" for Week 10","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/drew-lock-oblique-injury-air-010958352.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Seahawks QB Drew Lock suffered oblique injury in win over Cardinals","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/seahawks-qb-drew-lock-suffered-013452516.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Another QB injury: Drew Lock’s status ‘up in the air’ for Week 10 vs. Raiders","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/another-qb-injury-drew-lock-020901905.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Seahawks Get Bad News on Sam Darnold Recovery as Drew Lock Joins Growing Injury List","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/seahawks-bad-news-sam-darnold-181358410.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Seahawks expect Drew Lock to start vs. Raiders despite oblique injury","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/seahawks-expect-drew-lock-start-182413752.html"},{"outlet":"CBS Sports","publisher":"CBS Sports","title":"Seahawks plan to start Drew Lock in Week 10 despite oblique injury, Sam Darnold to miss another game","url":"https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/seahawks-plan-to-start-drew-lock-in-week-10-despite-oblique-injury-sam-darnold-to-miss-another-game/"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Seahawks HC reveals big injury updates on Drew Lock, Sam Darnold for Week 10","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/seahawks-hc-reveals-big-injury-190050607.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Drew Lock may be available for Week 10","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/drew-lock-may-available-week-191839163.html"}],"image":{"url":"https://nbcsports.brightspotcdn.com/dims4/default/ef6155d/2147483647/strip/false/crop/1920x1080+0+0/resize/1920x1080!/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fhdliveextra-a.akamaihd.net%2FHD%2Fimage_sports%2FNBCU_Sports_Group_-_nbcsports%2F760%2F555%2Fjsnmpx.jpg","credit":"Pro Football Talk","width":1920},"embed":null,"license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/","attribution":"Analysis data is licensed CC BY 4.0.
