Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said Sam Darnold (quad) will not play in Week 10 against the Raiders.

Macdonald said Darnold will need at least one more week to recover from the quad injury that sidelined him in Week 9. While Drew Lock (oblique) is dealing with his own injury, Macdonald said he believes the team can manage it and expects him to start next week against the Raiders. The Seahawks will have their bye in Week 11, so hopefully three straight weeks off will give him enough time to recover before Week 12’s game against the 49ers.
