For the second straight week, Drew Lock was limited in practice as he prepares to start in place of an injured Sam Darnold, but despite the oblique and elbow injuries that have limited Lock's reps in practice, he and the team are confident in his preparation heading into Seattle's Week 10 game in Las Vegas.
"He had a similar cadence and workload in terms of last week," Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald said following Friday's practice. "It's good to have done it and gotten through the week well. I know he's confident and optimistic, so we're in good shape."
Macdonald also made a point to praise the work that second-year quarterback Jalen Milroe has done in practice these past two weeks to be ready to play in case Lock were to have a setback.
"I think it's appropriate to say Jalen has done a tremendous job when he's been in there with the ones," Macdonald said. "I've been impressed. He's worked extremely hard, he's been decisive, he's delivered the ball accurately, on time. He's done a great job filling in for Drew (Lock) when we need him."
A day earlier, Lock said "I'm feeling good" when asked about preparing through injuries.
"Like I talked about after the game, we did a great job handling the week last week, and here we are," he said. "We just had a little something added to it, but I think we're doing the same. We're doing a great job getting ready, good stuff in the morning before meetings and be nice and warmed up heading into practice today and we'll go out there and roll it."
In more positive injury news, the Seahawks are getting back three players who were out the last two weeks due to injury: outside linebacker Uchenna Nwosu, receiver Rashid Shaheed and nose tackle Brandon Pili. All three were full participants in Friday's practice and do not have a game status, meaning they are good to go.
In addition to Darnold being out again with quadricep and rib injuries, the Seahawks also ruled out guard Quenton Nelson (knee), tackle Charles Cross (ankle) and defensive tackle Leonard Williams (stinger).
Of that group, only Cross practiced during the week as a limited participant on Thursday, and Macdonald said Cross is on track to return when the Seahawks face the 49ers after their Week 11 bye.
"I think it's fair to say he should be ready for the game after the bye," Macdonald said. "He's done a great job working through all the things, he couldn't make this game, unfortunately."
Asked about Darnold's injury, Macdonald said, "I see Sam progressing with his rehab and the guys are saying he's doing a great job and he's progressing. We'll take it a day and a week at a time."
As for Williams, who is trying to get back from a stinger, Macdonald said, "It's one of those things where it's not good until it is. It's not good yet… He's able to move around and do all the things. Stingers are more of a contact thing. He's doing a good job staying in shape and staying fresh. He's in the meetings, he's doing all the Leo things. He's just not playing right now."
On a non-injury note, defensive tackle Jarran Reed was back with the team for Friday's practice after being out the previous two days with what was listed as a personal matter on the injury report. Macdonald said Reed will play Sunday and referred to it as a "good personal issue" that kept him away for a couple of days.
