Drew Lock suffers oblique injury, Week 10 status up in the air: Seahawks could have to start Jalen Milroe
CBS Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Drew Lock sustained an oblique injury during the Seattle Seahawks' Week 9 win over the Arizona Cardinals, casting doubt on his availability for Week 10 against the Las Vegas Raiders.
- Lock was playing due to Sam Darnold's quad and rib injuries; Darnold has been managing a cracked rib while recovering from a quad injury sustained in Week 8.
- In Lock's second start this season, he completed 19 of 28 passes for 175 yards and a touchdown but was visibly not at full strength.
- If both Lock and Darnold are unavailable for Week 10, the Seahawks plan to start third-string quarterback Jalen Milroe, a 2025 third-round pick from Alabama who had a mixed college career with strong rushing stats but a decline in passing performance.
- The Seahawks, currently 5-4 and just outside the playoff picture, face significant pressure to perform as they enter a crucial stretch of the season.
