SeahawksSeahawks QB Sam Darnold will miss Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals, coach Mike Macdonald announced Wednesday.
Seahawks QB Sam Darnold will miss Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals, coach Mike Macdonald announced Wednesday. Darnold hurt his quad late in Monday night's 34-17 loss to the Bears and played through a cracked rib from the second play of the game. He'll be out for at least this week, with a chance he could play next week, and he won't go on injured reserve. The plan is for Drew Lock, who's been dealing with a right elbow injury, to start. Left tackle Charles Cross, defensive tackle Leonard Williams and receiver Rashid Shaheed, who missed Monday's game, “all have a chance to play,” Macdonald said.
