Overview
- Darnold was added to Thursday's injury report as a limited participant after feeling his left oblique during the routes-on-air period and then receiving treatment.
- The quarterback said he expects to play and put the chances of sitting at a “very low percentage,” calling it “close to zero.”
- Backup Drew Lock took first-team snaps Thursday and would start if Darnold cannot go, with rookie Jalen Milroe as the third quarterback.
- Final confirmation of Darnold’s status is expected roughly 90 minutes before Saturday night’s kickoff at Lumen Field.
- Seattle ruled out offensive tackle Josh Jones (knee), and left tackle Charles Cross is expected to return to the lineup.
