If you're watching the Seahawks today, Drew Lock is your quarterback. Coach Mike Macdonald confirmed Friday that Lock starts against the Cardinals, with Jalen Milroe as the backup, because Sam Darnold is out with a quad injury.

Lock has been dealing with “severe tendinitis” in his throwing elbow, according to a report from The Ringer's Tom Pelissero. He was inactive the last two games and was limited in practice on all 12 injury reports over four weeks. Thursday he said, “I’m excited to be back out there.”

Lock has no interceptions; Darnold has nine

Darnold cracked a rib early in Monday's 34-17 loss to the Bears and hurt his quad on the final series. Macdonald said he won't go on injured reserve and will be evaluated week to week.
