Garrett Podell· Sep 15, 2026

In an unbylined injury round-up, CBS Sports expects Drew Lock to start and hold up as Seattle's quarterback over the next two weeks while Sam Darnold is sidelined.

Lock should be able to do just that over the next two weeks at the Arizona Cardinals and the Washington Commanders.

Who this take is about

1 checkable claim in this take

Each one is scored on its own against the published methodology. A pundit naming several outcomes is graded on each, not on all-or-nothing.

  • Drew Lock to be 1st on the depth chart

    a medium panic level makes sense here because of the uncertainty for when Darnold returns, but Drew Lock has shown he is capable of holding the fort. Lock should be able to do just that over the next two weeks at the Arizona Cardinals and the Washington Commanders.

    Not settled yet. This is graded once the result is in.
