Seahawks QB Sam Darnold Out with Quad and Rib Injuries; Drew Lock Starts

Sunday, November 8, 2026 · Sports · GSM News

The Seattle Seahawks confirmed on November 8 that quarterback Sam Darnold would miss the Week 9 home game against the Arizona Cardinals with a quadriceps injury and a cracked rib, with backup Drew Lock starting in his place.

Darnold cracked the rib during the second series of the second quarter in Monday night's 34-17 loss to the Chicago Bears, finished that game hurt, and later strained his quadriceps. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported on November 8 that Darnold could also miss the Week 10 road game against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Lock is himself battling severe elbow tendinitis, and the Seahawks have elevated rookie quarterback Jalen Milroe as the backup. Seattle is evaluating Darnold week to week and has not placed him on injured reserve.
