Nelson Set for Minor Knee Procedure
Newly acquired left guard Quenton Nelson, 30, will undergo a minor procedure to clean out cartilage in his knee. The Seahawks acquired him from the Indianapolis Colts in exchange for a 2027 third-round pick and a 2028 fifth-round pick. He played every offensive snap in the prior game but will be week-to-week and will not be placed on injured reserve. With Nelson out, Grey Zabel shifts back to left guard while Anthony Bradford returns to the starting lineup at right guard.
Darnold and Others Ruled Out
Quarterback Sam Darnold, dealing with a quad injury, joins Nelson on the inactive list for the matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. The Seahawks, at 4-4, will also be without defensive tackle Leonard Williams (stinger), outside linebacker Uchenna Nwosu (ankle), left tackle Charles Cross (ankle) and wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed (knee). The Cardinals enter at 3-5. Backup defensive tackle Brandon Pili (back) is also out, while outside linebacker Connor O'Toole (foot) is questionable.
Lock Steps In at Quarterback
Drew Lock will start at quarterback despite a right elbow injury. The Seahawks signed former United Football League MVP Adrian Martinez to the practice squad for added depth. Jalen Milroe has also been prepared in case of further need at the position.
