Seahawks Announce Week 10 Decision on QB Sam Darnold
Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald announced the team's Week 10 decision on quarterback Sam Darnold.
The Seattle Seahawks announced on Monday that starting quarterback Sam Darnold will not play in their Week 10 game against the Las Vegas Raiders due to a quadriceps injury and a cracked rib sustained in Week 8. Drew Lock, who replaced Darnold in Week 9, is also dealing with an oblique injury and throwing elbow tendinitis. Following a radio interview on Monday, head coach Mike Macdonald confirmed that Darnold is ruled out for the upcoming Sunday matchup.
Initial tests on Lock's oblique injury were positive, and Macdonald expects him to start in consecutive weeks. The Seahawks, who have a 5-4 record at the start of the 2026 season, have lost to the Washington Commanders, San Francisco 49ers, Denver Broncos, and Chicago Bears. After the Week 10 game, the team will have a Week 11 bye to allow their injured quarterbacks to recover.
