Seahawks Injury Report: Lock limited, Nwosu makes progress

Backup quarterback Drew Lock, who the Seattle Seahawks plan to start on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals in place of injured Sam Darnold, was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday’s practice report as he continues to deal with a right elbow injury.

Seahawks QB Darnold out with quad injury, will miss Arizona game

The Seahawks held a walkthrough practice, so their report was an estimation of what players would have done in a full practice.

Head coach Mike Macdonald announced earlier in the day that Darnold is “week to week” with a quad injury and will miss Sunday’s game against Arizona.

Macdonald said Lock’s practice reps will be managed throughout the week. Lock has been listed as limited on every practice report for each of the previous three weeks, and he was inactive for each of the past two games.

Meanwhile, veteran edge rusher Uchenna Nwosu (ankle) was listed as limited. That’s a step forward for Nwosu, who didn’t practice last week and missed Monday night’s loss to the Chicago Bears.

Three-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Leonard Williams (stinger), left tackle Charles Cross (ankle) and wide receiver Rashid Shaheed (knee) were each listed as non-participants. Macdonald told Seattle Sports’ Brock and Salk on Tuesday that all three have “a chance” to return from injury for Sunday’s game.

Three-time All-Pro left guard Quenton Nelson (knee) was listed as limited. Nelson, who the Seahawks acquired in a blockbuster trade on Oct. 27, appeared on the injury report last week as a full participant.

Running backs Zach Charbonnet and Jadarian Price were not listed on Wednesday’s injury report, which is a good sign after both returned to play Monday night against Chicago. Charbonnet was making his much-anticipated return from February ACL surgery, while Price was returning after missing the previous four games with a chest injury.

Seattle’s full practice report for Wednesday is below.
