Overview

  • Head coach Mike Macdonald said the game plan will include specific plays for Jalen Milroe, which he will rehearse with the starting offense.
  • Sam Darnold remains the Week 1 starter with Drew Lock as the primary backup, while Milroe is set for situational use beyond emergency depth.
  • Milroe started the preseason finale at Green Bay and went 13-of-24 for 148 yards and a touchdown with three lost fumbles and five sacks in a 20-7 loss.
  • Across three preseason games, Milroe completed 22 of 39 passes for 255 yards and one touchdown with no interceptions, adding 87 rushing yards on 15 carries.
  • Seattle has already shown a sneak-peek with a tush-push conversion, and analysts expect his early packages to emphasize short-yardage and red-zone snaps under OC Klint Kubiak.
