Seahawks struggle with QB depth behind Sam Darnold in preseason finale

Summary

The Seattle Seahawks face uncertainty at quarterback as they conclude their preseason. Veteran Drew Lock showed promise in a recent game, completing 12 of 14 passes and initially leading the reserve offense to a 16-3 edge against the Tennessee Titans. However, Jalen Milroe struggled, throwing two interceptions and seeing Seattle's lead evaporate into a 19-16 defeat. The coaching staff is focused on helping Milroe improve his decision-making as he tries to adjust to the NFL level. The Seahawks will need to address these concerns as they prepare for the start of the regular season.
