Who is, isn’t playing for Seahawks exhibition vs Dallas; Lawrence’s final year
Coach Mike Macdonald, new offensive coordinator Brian Fleury to change how Seattle uses quarterbacks Drew Lock, Jalen Milroe in these games.
The Seattle Seahawks will play a preseason exhibition game against the Dallas Cowboys at Lumen Field in Seattle on Saturday evening. Twenty of the 22 starters from the team's Super Bowl-winning game six months ago will not participate in this season's first preseason game. Quarterback Sam Darnold, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Cooper Kupp, Devon Witherspoon, Leonard Williams, DeMarcus Lawrence, Ernest Jones, Ernest Jones, and AJ Barner will not play.
The Seahawks' starting quarterback, Sam Darnold, will ride a Green Bay kid's bike to the joint practice against the Packers, saying it was "incredible" to talk to the bike owner. Veteran backup Drew Lock and rookie Jalen Milroe will be the quarterbacks for the Seahawks, with Lock starting and Milroe entering the game. Milroe is looking forward to improving his passing skills and accuracy, while the Seahawks are rotating the quarterbacks to provide experience.
Running back Jadarian Price, the top rookie and presumed starter, will not play due to upper-leg soreness. George Holani, Justin Jones, T.J. Harden, and Velus Jones Jr. are the backups with experience expected to play.
