Sam Darnold back to Seahawks practice, Drew Lock also 1s reps; Emmanwori full go
The Super Bowl-champion QB works with teammates on the field for the first time since he strained his glute two weeks ago. Now what?
Sam Darnold, the Super Bowl champion quarterback, has returned to the Seattle Seahawks practice after straining his glute in the season's early games. He took part in practice for the first time since his injury on Wednesday. Darnold did not play in every snap, but he did join his backup QB Drew Lock and third-stringer Jalen Milroe for some throwing practice.
Coach Mike Macdonald stated that Darnold would not take every rep during practice. Instead, Darnold and Lock would divide the game plan reps. It remains to be seen how Darnold's injury responds to his first on-field work with his teammates in two weeks. If successful, he may see more game-plan reps in practice on Thursday and Friday.
The Seahawks will decide on Darnold's starting role on Sunday, with the Washington Commanders game looming. Meanwhile, RB Jadarian Price and Nick Emmanwori, who had ankle surgery, were both full participants in practice. Emmanwori, in particular, is expected to see significant playing time in the upcoming game against the Commanders.
