## Key points

- Lock noticed Darnold’s injury without being told.
- Darnold’s quad injury rules him out against Arizona.
- Lock has thrown four touchdowns and no interceptions this season.

## Summary

Drew Lock said he could tell Sam Darnold was injured because, after spending so much time watching his teammate in practice and games, he noticed a change without Darnold needing to say anything. The Seahawks quarterback compared that instinct to recognising when a partner is upset, and his account underlined how closely the two players know each other.

Darnold cracked a rib on the second play of Seattle’s 34-17 loss to Chicago, then hurt his quad on the final drive; the quad injury will keep him out against Arizona. He is week-to-week and will not go on injured reserve. Lock is set for his second start of the season, despite a sore elbow, after throwing for 235 yards and three touchdowns in his Week 2 start against the Cardinals; Seattle are 4-4 and Arizona are 3-5.
