Sam Darnold’s absence pushes Drew Lock into the Seahawks’ lineup, testing Seattle’s offense and setting up a pivotal look at Darnold’s value for future contracts; a standout run for Lock could complicate a big-money deal for Darnold, while struggles might keep Darnold in the driver's seat or fuel speculation about other options.
With Sam Darnold out with a glute injury, Seattle will start Drew Lock at quarterback against Arizona and expects little change to their game plan; Lock looked sharp in relief vs. New England, going 16 of 22 for 187 yards and a TD, and teammates say he’s ready to lead.
