Seahawks HC reveals big injury updates on Drew Lock, Sam Darnold for Week 10 image
The Seattle Seahawks won their Week 10 matchup over the Arizona Cardinals, but during the game, Drew Lock started in place of an injured Sam Darnold. But he, too, suffered an injury in the win over Arizona.
While he played the whole game, the injury to Lock opened the door for Seattle to go down to their third-string quarterback, Jalen Milroe. But on Monday morning, Mike Macdonald revealed some big news.
As Gregg Bell of 93.3 KJR shared on Twitter/x, Macdonald revealed some big news in the QB room. Darnold will miss another week, but Lock has a real chance.
Seahawks get big Drew Lock, Sam Darnold updates for Week 10
"Coach Mike Macdonald says on his radio show Sam Darnold is out again this week at Raiders," Bell shared. "Drew Lock's tests on his oblique injury were 'good.' The Seahawks believe they can manage Lock's injury for him to start again Sunday in Las Vegas."
The Seahawks came out of Week 9 with some concern about Lock's availability for Week 10 against the Las Vegas Raiders. But this update points to Lock being good to go.
Nothing is guaranteed, as Lock still needs to make it through the week of practice. But all signs point to Lock being the Week 10 starter.

So long as Lock and the Seahawks manage his oblique injury properly, he is poised to make his third start of the season, and his first one not facing the Cardinals.
The Raiders' defense has really struggled as of late, so Lock will have another good opportunity to impress like he has so far this season.
Coming out of Week 9, the Seahawks know that Darnold will be out for another week, but the positive update on Lock does keep the door open for him to start against the Raiders, avoiding a scenario where Seattle would rely on Milroe.
