Seahawks QB Sam Darnold will miss game against Cardinals

RENTON — Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold will not play on Sunday against Arizona because of a quadriceps injury suffered late in the loss to Chicago.

Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald said the plan is for Drew Lock to start against the Cardinals.

Darnold came out of the loss beat up. Macdonald said Darnold suffered a cracked rib on the opening offensive series of the game, but it’s the quad injury that will keep him out for at least this week.

Macdonald said the plan for now is not to place Darnold on injured reserve and there is a chance he could play next week at Las Vegas. The Seahawks do have their bye after the game against the Raiders.

Lock has been the emergency quarterback the past two weeks after suffering a right elbow injury. Macdonald said Lock was hurt during a rainy practice a couple of weeks ago and has not done much throwing during that time. Jalen Milroe will get reps in practice this week as well in case Lock’s elbow continues to be a problem.

Lock already started one game earlier this season and it was against the Cardinals. He threw for 235 yards and three touchdowns in the 31-7 victory.

Macdonald also said the team could bring in another quarterback for roster depth this week.
