Drew Lock hurts oblique in Seahawks' 17-3 win over Cardinals; Week 10 status up in the air.

Lock went 19-of-28 for 175 yards and a touchdown while starting for the injured Sam Darnold, who missed the game with quad and rib injuries. Coach Mike Macdonald said Lock's status for Week 10 against the Raiders is up in the air. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Darnold is in jeopardy of missing Week 10, so Jalen Milroe is next on the depth chart, and Seattle added Adrian Martinez to the practice squad.
