Seahawks’ Drew Lock pinpoints silver lining of nagging oblique injury before Week 10 start

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Drew Lock remains confident he will start in the team's crucial Week 10 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders, despite a nagging oblique injury. Lock suffered the injury during a Week 9 victory over the Arizona Cardinals, leading to concerns about his availability for the Raiders game. However, Lock played well in his recent start, tossing for 175 yards and a touchdown with no interceptions while rushing for 16 yards.

Coach Pete Carroll noted Lock's positive outlook on his injury, stating that it is located in the back of his muscle, not the front as experienced with a prior oblique issue. Lock has been a consistent starter for the Seahawks, going 2-0 in games he has started this season, and currently holds a 597 passing yards and five touchdowns in three starts. The Seahawks are currently in second place in the NFC West with a 5-4 record.
