Seattle Faces Quarterback Uncertainty Ahead of Vegas Game

Sam Darnold will miss this weekend’s game against Vegas, leaving Drew Locke in line to start at quarterback for Seattle. Locke is reportedly dealing with an oblique injury, so his status will need to be monitored.

The other quarterback in the room is former Alabama prospect Jalen Milroe. His mobility, accuracy, build, and style of play draw some comparisons to Jalen Hurts, although he may not have the strongest arm.

If Milroe has to play, the Seahawks could create a ground-heavy plan that allows him to use his legs while limiting how much he needs to throw. Seattle will still hope Locke can play as the team tries to get healthy at quarterback.

The Seahawks urgently need a win as they teeter on the brink in the NFC. With the NFC North playing so well, earning a wild-card spot could be difficult for teams that do not win their division.
