Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold has been ruled out for the team's Week 10 matchup, according to a report from ProFootball Talk on NBC Sports. The announcement came on Monday, November 9, 2026, leaving veteran backup Drew Lock in line to make the start.
Darnold, who signed with Seattle in the offseason, has been the team's primary starter through the first nine weeks of the season. The nature of his absence was not specified in the initial report. Lock, a former first-round pick who has previous starting experience with the Denver Broncos, will take over the offense for the upcoming game.
The Seahawks' coaching staff is expected to provide further details on Darnold's status and the team's quarterback plan later in the week as they prepare for their Week 10 opponent.
