Should Darnold be sidelined, the Seahawks have two other quarterbacks on their roster: Drew Lock and Jalen Milroe. Lock, who is the team’s backup, took first-team reps during practice in Darnold’s absence, suggesting he would likely start if necessary. Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak expressed confidence in Lock’s experience, noting that he has started 28 games in the league. 💪
On the other hand, Jalen Milroe, who’s also on the roster, has played in just three games this season, primarily in rushing situations. Although there are specific game plans that include him, he is considered a less likely option to start than Lock should Darnold not be able to play. 📉
With Lock stepping in during practice, the Seahawks are preparing as if Darnold may not take the field against the Niners. Kubiak highlighted Lock’s impressive performance throughout the season, reiterating the team’s trust in him and explaining why he was brought to Seattle in the first place. 🏆
In summary, while Darnold hopes to play against the 49ers, the Seahawks are gearing up for a potential start from Drew Lock, making it essential to monitor Darnold’s recovery closely leading up to the game. If needed, Milroe could also be an option, but Lock remains the preferred choice based on his experience and recent practice performance. ⚡️
