Overview
- Darnold left Thursday’s routes-on-air period with left-side discomfort, was limited in practice, and was added to the injury report as questionable.
- He told reporters he expects to play, calling the odds of sitting out a “very low percentage, probably closer to zero.”
- Head coach Mike Macdonald said the team is “really optimistic” but will test Darnold before making a final decision.
- Drew Lock took first-team reps Thursday and would start if needed, with rookie Jalen Milroe as the third quarterback.
- Left tackle Josh Jones (knee) was ruled out; most others were cleared, and LT Charles Cross is in line to play.
