The Seahawks played Sunday's game against the Cardinals without several key players, but were able to win 17-3 despite the absences of quarterback Sam Darnold, left tackle Charles Cross, left guard Quenton Nelson, defensive tackle Leonard Williams, outside linebacker Uchenna Nwosu and receiver Rashid Shaheed.
Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald said Monday that Darnold and Nelson, who had a minor procedure on his knee, will not play in Seattle's Week 10 game against the Raiders, but that the status of the rest of those players remains up in the air.
"I'd say we haven't ruled anybody out yet, but I think everybody needs to make progress," Macdonald said. "So nobody's in, nobody's out."
When it comes to Williams, who is dealing with a stinger, Macdonald said it's hard to put a specific timeline on his return.
"They vary in severity," Macdonald said. "… There's not much you can do. I know we're trying all the things, and you just kind of have to go with it. If Leo can play, he's not the type of guy that needs a ton of reps, so you can kind of exhaust timelines and things like that. But it's definitely not a straightforward pathway on how we move forward."
As Macdonald said Monday morning on Seattle Sports 710AM, the Seahawks will again be without Sam Darnold, who is dealing with quadricep and rib injuries. Darnold does have a shot to be back after Seattle's Week 11 bye.
"I think so," Macdonald said. "He's making progress, it's just we're going to need some more time."
As for Drew Lock, who injured his oblique Sunday after coming into the game with an elbow injury, Macdonald said the quarterback should be able to play, though he will again be limited in practice.
"He has some sort of oblique, but we're going to put a game plan together, and we expect him to be able to play," Macdonald said. "It should be a similar approach to last week, I would imagine."
Asked what that practice approach looks like, Macdonald said, "He's not taking all the reps, and he's not taking all the throws. How we manage it is kind of a day-to-day thing based off of how he's feeling, and maybe the aggregate that we're going to shoot for for the whole week. But there's some situations where we want him to be in there not throwing, there's some situations where Jalen (Milroe)'s in there doing everything as well. So it's kind of a mixture from day to day."
Nelson, who was acquired in a trade with the Colts prior to Seattle's Week 8 game, had what Macdonald called a minor procedure on his knee on Monday. He is still considered week to week and the Seahawks are not planning on putting him on injured reserve, which would indicate that they don't expect him to miss four or more games.
"We're not putting him on IR yet, so I think that gives you the timetable of what we expect," Macdonald said. "He's considered week to week, I guess is the best way to put it."
