Injury Progress
Seattle backup quarterback Drew Lock indicated his right elbow has improved enough for him to take a starting role this week. The injury had kept him inactive for the previous two games and limited his throwing during that stretch. Lock participated in practice as a limited player and said he felt good throwing the ball again after the time away.
Week Ahead
The Seahawks will start Lock on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals because of Sam Darnold's right quadriceps injury. Lock noted he would not have been ready to start the prior two contests if needed. The team also plans to prepare third-string quarterback Jalen Milroe in case of an emergency, while managing Lock's workload in practice.
Team Situation
Darnold suffered the quadriceps issue near the end of a 34-17 loss to the Chicago Bears that left Seattle at 4-4. He also sustained a cracked rib on the second play of that game. Lock's prior starts this season came in the first two games after Darnold dealt with a glute injury.
