Overview

  • Milroe remains third on the depth chart behind Sam Darnold and Drew Lock, yet coaches plan to use him beyond an emergency role.
  • In the preseason finale at Green Bay, he passed for 148 yards with a touchdown but lost three fumbles and was sacked five times in a 20-7 defeat, prompting a ball-security emphasis from Macdonald.
  • Darnold did not play in that game as Milroe handled extended work with the offense.
  • Seattle has already deployed Milroe on a short‑yardage “tush push” against the Chiefs, pointing to potential goal‑line and situational packages.
  • Outlets differ on Milroe’s preseason totals, but coverage aligns that his live reps were limited before the Packers game.
