Seahawks Vs. Raiders: Trade Means Changes For Week 10 Clash

The Seattle Seahawks' quarterback position has been a big storyline over the past week. But the Las Vegas Raiders QB storyline is even larger.

With Sam Darnold dealing with a quad injury, but also a cracked rib, sustained in the loss to the Chicago Bears, it was the Drew Lock show on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals.

While Lock managed to bus drive the Seahawks to a 17-3 win that moves the franchise to 5-4 on the year, he was also dealing with his own injury issues.

An elbow injury, and then we saw him during the game against the Cardinals looking a little uncomfortable.

And Macdonald revealed the injury that Lock was playing with on Sunday, and in the process, revealed who will be starting against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 10.

"He has some sort of oblique," Macdonald said. "But again, we're going to put a game plan together and we expect him to be able to play. So, it'll be it should be a similar approach to last week, I would imagine."

So, it will be the Lock show yet again, as the Seahawks will face a Raiders team now without Kirk Cousins, who was traded to the Minnesota Vikings, meaning Fernando Mendoza will be the quarterback Seattle faces.

But the big question about the Seahawks' quarterback position is Darnold and his availability.

With Seattle playing the Raiders, it then has the bye before traveling to face the San Francisco 49ers in Week 12.

So, will Darnold be back after the bye?

"I think so," Macdonald added. "Making progress. We're going to need some more time."

So that will mean Darnold is going to get nearly 30 days' rest before hopefully taking the field against the 49ers. In an ideal world, that is enough time to get both the cracked rib and quad injury healed.

With the Seahawks now at 5-4, if they can get another win over the Raiders on Sunday to move to 6-4, Macdonald's team will be in good shape ahead of the trip to San Francisco.

Lock has managed to keep this train rolling in a positive direction, stepping in for Darnold, and the Seahawks will hope he has one more good game in him to get the franchise to the bye week, and they can reset.
