Seahawks list Leonard Williams out and Drew Lock limited before Cardinals game

The Seattle Seahawks’ Wednesday, November 4, estimated injury report listed defensive tackle Leonard Williams out with a stinger and quarterback Drew Lock limited with a right elbow injury ahead of their Week 9 game against the Arizona Cardinals. Coach Mike Macdonald indicated Lock would start because Sam Darnold is out, but Lock’s throwing workload was still being worked through, CBS Sports reported. The practice listing does not establish who will be available on Sunday.

Why Drew Lock’s status matters

Darnold will miss the game with a quad injury, Macdonald told reporters, according to CBS Sports. Lock is able to throw, Macdonald said, though the team was still determining how much. If Lock cannot play, SB Nation reported that second-year quarterback Jalen Milroe would need to step in; that remains a conditional scenario, not a confirmed change to the starting plan.

Other Seahawks and Cardinals on the report

Seattle had six players miss Wednesday practice with injuries, SB Nation reported. The absentees included left tackle Charles Cross and nose tackle Brandon Pili, who had a back injury. Guards Quenton Nelson and Anthony Bradford were limited with knee injuries. On defense, edge rusher Uchenna Nwosu was limited by an ankle injury, while safety Nick Emmanwori fully participated despite a shoulder injury. Wide receiver Rashid Shaheed also missed practice.

For Arizona, wide receiver Michael Wilson and defensive tackle Walter Nolen were limited; Wilson’s listing included rest and a rib injury, while Nolen had an ankle injury. Running back Bam Knight did not practice with a concussion. Safety Budda Baker and edge rusher Josh Sweat were held out for reasons SB Nation said were unrelated to injury. These are Wednesday practice statuses, and the report does not settle the players’ game-day availability.
