Seahawks face uncertainty with Sam Darnold ruled out against Cardinals

Summary

The Seattle Seahawks are grappling with a precarious season ahead of their game against the Arizona Cardinals, with quarterback Sam Darnold ruled out due to a quad injury. Darnold's absence follows the team's heavy loss to the Chicago Bears earlier this week. Many Seahawks fans speculate that Darnold's injury aligns with reports of the Minnesota Vikings seeking a new quarterback, as Darnold previously had success in Minnesota. Drew Lock is set to start despite his own elbow issue, raising further concerns about Seattle's offense performance this season.
