The Seattle Seahawks are preparing to start quarterback Drew Lock against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 10, despite an oblique injury that limited him in the previous game.
Coach Mike Macdonald confirmed on his weekly radio show that Sam Darnold will miss another game due to a quad injury and broken rib, giving Darnold an extra week to recover before the team's bye week.
Lock, who is 2-0 as a starter this season, underwent a "good exam" on his oblique and the team believes the injury is manageable. He completed 19 of 28 passes for 175 yards and a touchdown in the win over the Arizona Cardinals, though he was visibly not at full health.
If Lock cannot play, rookie Jalen Milroe would make his first career appearance. The Seahawks also have Adrian Martinez on the practice squad.
Darnold is expected to return after the bye for a crucial NFC West matchup against the San Francisco 49ers on November 29.
