Mike Macdonald confirms Sam Darnold out for Week 2, no plans for move to IR
It’ll be the Drew Lock show on Sunday against Arizona… and maybe Jalen Milroe, too?
Sam Darnold, the Seattle Seahawks' starting quarterback, will miss Week 2 as the team practices for their upcoming game against the Arizona Cardinals. Head coach Mike Macdonald confirmed that Darnold will not play due to a glute injury and will not be placed on injured reserve. Drew Lock, the team's backup quarterback, will start in Darnold's absence, while Jalen Milroe will serve as the backup and gain more first-team experience.
Macdonald stated that they do not plan to add another quarterback to the roster while Darnold is out and that Milroe will get some first-team reps in his rookie NFL season. The Seahawks will release their first injury report later on Wednesday, but it is clear that Darnold will not be part of the game-day lineup.
