Sam Darnold could return after the Seahawks' bye week
Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold will not play in Sunday's game against the Raiders, but he could return after the team's bye week.
Key points
- Darnold will miss a second consecutive game with quad and rib injuries, but he could be back for the showdown with the rival 49ers on Nov.
- Coach Mike Macdonald said Drew Lock is expected to start in Darnold's stead despite oblique and throwing elbow injuries.
- “ I think so, yeah,” Macdonald told reporters Monday, via Cameron Van Til of Seattle Sports.
Macdonald said it's "possible" that Nelson can return after the bye, too.
We’re going to need some more time.” The Seahawks also won't have left guard Quenton Nelson, who will miss Sunday's game with a knee injury.
Additional details
- Nelson will undergo a "minor" knee procedure, per Macdonald.
