Seattle Seahawks quarterback Drew Lock will start in Week 9 despite limited practice on Friday due to an elbow issue. Lock’s name did not appear on the team’s injury report, confirming his availability for the upcoming game.
Lock has accumulated 422 passing yards and four touchdowns this season, all in limited action. He could remain a starter in the near future depending on the health of Sam Darnold, Seattle’s other quarterback. The situation leaves Lock positioned as a potential No. 2 option in deeper fantasy football leagues.
John Boyle of Seahawks.com reported Lock’s status following the Friday practice session on November 6, noting the quarterback’s limited participation but clear readiness to play.
The Seahawks have yet to confirm the exact nature of Lock’s elbow problem or how it might affect his performance moving forward. His presence on the field in Week 9 offers Seattle continuity at the position while Darnold’s condition remains under observation.
Lock’s role this season has been defined by sporadic playing time, but his recent clearance suggests the Seahawks are prepared to rely on him as they navigate injury concerns within their quarterback roster. With four touchdown passes in his limited snaps, Lock has contributed efficiently when called upon.
The team will announce the official starting lineup ahead of their next game, but Lock’s absence from the injury report and confirmation from Seahawks.com sources establish him as the expected starter. His performance in Week 9 will be closely watched as Seattle balances its quarterback options.
No further updates regarding Lock’s condition or the status of Sam Darnold have been released. The Seahawks remain cautious but appear confident in Lock’s ability to take the field despite the recent physical limitation in practice.
