Seahawks rumors: Will we see any Jalen Milroe with Sam Darnold out injured?

The Seattle Seahawks are handing offensive duties to Drew Lock while their quarterback, Sam Darnold, recuperates from a soft-tissue injury. Darnold is expected to miss the team's Week 2 game against the Arizona Cardinals and could be out for a second week, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. The Seahawks have not placed Darnold on short-term injured reserve, indicating they don't foresee a prolonged absence.

Drew Lock, who completed 16-of-22 passes for 187 yards and a touchdown in Seattle's season-opening 13-10 victory over the New England Patriots, will step into the role temporarily. ESPN's Dan Graziano suggests there might still be room for Jalen Milroe, who isn't competing with Lock for the starting quarterback position while Darnold is sidelined.

Milroe, known for his athleticism, could provide an advantage for the Seahawks in goal-line and short-yardage situations both as a runner and passer. With Lock set to lead the offense, the Seahawks could experiment with incorporating Milroe's skills to potentially bolster their roster.
