The Seahawks will again turn to backup Drew Lock, this time for the Week 10 matchup against the Raiders.
Sam Darnold will not play for the Seahawks in Week 10, missing at least one more week of action. The quarterback had already sat out the game against the Cardinals, and sources had indicated he was in danger of missing the following matchup against the Raiders as well. That danger has now become reality.
With Darnold sidelined, Seattle will lean on Drew Lock, the team's regular backup, to start under center against the Raiders. Lock is expected to be available for the assignment.
No further details on the nature or severity of Darnold's issue have been provided. For now, the Seahawks' plan is clear: Lock takes the reins again while Darnold continues to work his way back.
What happens beyond Week 10 remains to be seen, but the team will be monitoring Darnold's recovery closely as the season continues.
