What happened: Drew Lock suffered an oblique injury and underwent examination in the medical tent, leaving his status for Week 10 in question. Head coach Mike Macdonald stated he does not yet know whether Sam Darnold can return from quadriceps and rib injuries this week.
Why it matters: The injuries create immediate uncertainty under center for Seattle as the team contends in the NFC playoff race. The Seahawks moved to 5-4 following a 17-3 victory over the Arizona Cardinals, positioning them at the No. 8 seed.
By the numbers: Darnold has completed 127 of 211 passes for 1478 yards with 10 touchdowns and 9 interceptions in 2026 through 7 games. Seattle is 5-4 in 2026 through 9 games.
What to watch: Seattle will evaluate both quarterbacks in practice before traveling to face the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 10.
