The Seattle Seahawks have announced that quarterback Sam Darnold will miss their Week 9 matchup, the team confirmed on Wednesday. The news comes as a significant blow to Seattle's offense as they prepare for a crucial divisional game.
Darnold, who has started the season as the Seahawks' primary signal-caller, has been dealing with an undisclosed issue that will sideline him for the upcoming contest. The team did not specify a timeline for his return.
Backup quarterback Drew Lock is expected to start in Darnold's absence. The Seahawks enter Week 9 with a 4-4 record, looking to stay competitive in the NFC West.
