The Seattle Seahawks' quarterback situation has fans on the edge of their seats! With the NFC Divisional Round upon us, the team's inactives list reveals a mix of relief and intrigue. Will the Seahawks soar or stumble?
Starting QB Sam Darnold, who suffered an oblique injury mid-week, is surprisingly active and likely to start. This is a huge boost for the team, but a bold move considering he didn't participate in pre-game warm-ups. Backup QB Drew Lock is also ready to step in if needed.
But here's where it gets controversial: five rookies, including Jalen Milroe, are scratched for the game. Milroe, who has been the emergency third quarterback, is now out, leaving the Seahawks with only two active QBs. A risky strategy, some might say, especially with the playoffs on the line.
The Seahawks' inactive list includes offensive tackle Josh Jones due to injury, and rookies Milroe, Bryce Cabeldue, Mason Richman, Rylie Mills, and Jared Ivey. Meanwhile, the San Francisco 49ers' inactives feature WR Jordan Watkins, S Ji'Ayir Brown, DL Sebastian Valdez, and others.
As the game approaches, the Seahawks' decision to rely on Darnold and Lock becomes a hot topic. Is this a calculated risk or a potential downfall? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
