Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold will miss the team's Week 9 game due to a quad injury, according to a report from USA TODAY Sports on November 4, 2026. Backup quarterback Drew Lock is expected to start in Darnold's place.
Darnold's absence leaves Seattle without its starting signal-caller for the upcoming matchup. Lock, who has previous starting experience in the NFL, will take over the offense for the Seahawks.
