Seahawks sign Adrian Martinez to bolster quarterback depth after Darnold injury
Summary

The Seattle Seahawks have signed quarterback Adrian Martinez following Sam Darnold’s injury, which will keep him out of Week 9 against the Arizona Cardinals. Martinez, who was named MVP in the UFL, joins the Seahawks after previously playing for the San Francisco 49ers. Darnold is sidelined with a quad injury and a cracked rib sustained in a recent game. Drew Lock is expected to start but is also dealing with a right elbow injury. If Lock is unable to play, Martinez could be elevated to the game roster this Sunday. Jamie Sheriff has been added to the practice squad, with two players released to accommodate these moves.
