Sam Darnold (quad) out for Week 9 vs. Cardinals
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold will miss Week 9 against the Cardinals due to a quad injury, though he is not expected to be placed on injured reserve and is considered week-to-week; Drew Lock will start in his place.
- Darnold has struggled with injuries this season, including a recent rib injury and a glute issue, and his inconsistent play has led to limited fantasy value, with Lock emerging as a viable QB2 option.
- Packers running back Josh Jacobs faces ongoing allegations of abuse but is currently expected to miss no additional games beyond the six he has already missed while on the NFL commissioner exempt list.
- Veteran slot cornerback Arthur Maulet has announced his retirement after nine NFL seasons, having played primarily with the Jets, Steelers, and Ravens.
- Several players including Treylon Burks (foot), David Njoku (fibula), Christian Kirk (knee), and Reed Blankenship (concussion/hand) are dealing with injuries and have limited or no practice participation, affecting their availability for upcoming games.
