Drew Lock will start for the Seahawks against the Raiders with Sam Darnold already ruled out for Week 10. Darnold missed practice with ribs and quad injuries, and his return could come in Week 12 following the bye.

Lock’s practice participation was limited by right elbow and quadriceps injuries. In the 17-3 win over the Cardinals, he threw for 175 yards and a touchdown, completing 19 of 28 attempts. He played every snap on offense and added 16 rushing yards on five carries.

Other players who sat out practice included offensive tackle Charles Cross with an ankle injury and offensive guard Quenton Nelson with a knee injury. Defensive tackles Brandon Pili and Leonard Williams were absent with a back injury and a stinger, respectively. Defensive tackle Jarran Reed missed practice for personal reasons, while wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba rested.

The limited participants also included offensive guard Anthony Bradford with a knee injury and linebackers Derick Hall with a back injury, Uchenna Nwosu with an ankle injury, Patrick O’Connell with a toe injury and Connor O’Toole with a foot injury.
