THE APEX TIMES
With Sam Darnold sidelined again by rib and quadricep injuries, Seattle coach Mike Macdonald said Drew Lock worked through a limited week and the team is confident in his preparation for Sunday’s game in Las Vegas. Macdonald also provided updates on the availability timeline for Charles Cross, Leonard Williams and Quenton Nelson, plus a return for Jarran Reed.
Seattle will turn to Drew Lock under center for a second straight week, with coach Mike Macdonald saying Sam Darnold is out again while he works through rehab from rib and quadricep injuries heading into Sunday’s matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders.
Macdonald said Lock was limited in practice for the second straight week as he continues to manage oblique and elbow injuries. After Friday’s practice, Macdonald characterized Lock’s week as similar in workload and cadence to the prior week and said Lock and the team are “in good shape” as the Seahawks get ready for kickoff.
In the same comments, Macdonald pointed to contingency preparation from second-year quarterback Jalen Milroe, saying Milroe had handled the practice reps with the first group that were available and had looked decisive and accurate when called on over the past two weeks.
The Seahawks’ injury report also listed guard Quenton Nelson (knee), tackle Charles Cross (ankle) and defensive tackle Leonard Williams (stinger) as out. Macdonald said Cross is on track to return after the Seahawks’ Week 11 bye, while describing Williams’s stinger as not something that is “good until it is,” noting Williams was not playing right now but had been able to move and stay active in other ways.
On the personnel side, defensive tackle Jarran Reed returned to practice on Friday after missing the previous two days due to what the team listed as a personal matter on the injury report. Macdonald said Reed will play Sunday.
