The Seattle Seahawks are without quarterback Sam Darnold due to injury. As a result, they’ve turned to backup signal-caller Drew Lock. Unfortunately, even Lock is dealing with a bit of an injury situation in his own right.

Lock is working through an oblique injury. Additionally, he is still recovering from an elbow injury that limited his throwing last week. Despite being clearly banged up, Seahawks offensive coordinator Brian Fleury is not worried in the slightest.
“The oblique thing doesn’t seem to be much of a concern and the elbow has been improving over the course of the last few weeks. So he’s actually taken more reps this week than he was going into last week, so we have no concerns about his readiness to go,” Fleury told Brady Henderson of ESPN on Thursday.

Lock took over under center last week when Seattle took on the Arizona Cardinals. It certainly wasn’t the prettiest performance you’ll see. But the Seahawks did enough to claim a 17-3 win over Arizona in front of their home fans.

Lock is no stranger to stepping in when he’s needed. He played eight games for the New York Giants in 2024, racking up over 1000 yards passing. He also stepped in for the Seahawks in 2023 for four games.
