# Carter Bahns: Bahns writes that Drew Lock is likely to recover enough from their oblique injury to play against the Raiders in Week 10, and that Sam Darnold, after the extra week and the bye, will return against the 49ers on Nov. 29 as Seattle's locked-in starting quarterback. **Claimed:** Nov 9, 2026 **Pundit:** Carter Bahns — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/carter-bahns **Outlet:** CBS Sports — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/cbs-sports **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/seahawks-plan-to-start-drew-lock-in-week-10-despite-oblique-injury-sam-darnold-to-miss-another-game/ 3 checkable claims — 2 availability calls and 1 depth chart call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call. It names 3 players and teams, each linked to their own record. None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in. Of the 1 unsettled call enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room. > Drew Lock has a good chance to recover enough from his oblique injury to play against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 10. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - “Drew Lock has a good chance to recover enough from his oblique injury to play against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 10.” - Kind: Availability Calls · About: Drew Lock, Seattle Seahawks - Verdict: not settled yet - **Sam Darnold to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Sam Darnold, Seattle Seahawks - Verdict: not settled yet - “That sets him up to return for a critical NFC West showdown on the road against the San Francisco 49ers on Nov. 29.” - Kind: Availability Calls · About: Sam Darnold, Seattle Seahawks - Verdict: not settled yet ## Who this take is about - Drew Lock — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/drew-lock - Seattle Seahawks — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/seahawks - Sam Darnold — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/sam-darnold ## What others said about the same people - Jeremy Brener on Drew Lock: Brener picked the Seahawks to beat the Cardinals in Week 9 by a multi-score margin, giving a final score of 27-13, and expressed confidence Seattle would be fine with Drew Lock starting at quarterback. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/7eb2d245-63d0-4be0-80ba-3f60197e2b16 (scored 100) - Rich Eisen on Sam Darnold: Eisen expects Sam Darnold to remain in Minnesota rather than leave in free agency, and believes the Browns will trade Myles Garrett out of the conference, to an NFC team. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/2bab8f84-0dc0-4acd-88d5-539898948d95 (scored 0) - Albert Breer on Seattle Seahawks: Breer picks the Seahawks to beat the Cardinals in their Week 9 NFC West matchup. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/4d67a8a5-0c05-4abe-b2ca-f0cef8390b1d (scored 100) - Tyler Sullivan on Seattle Seahawks: Sullivan picks the Seahawks to win in Week 9. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/dfca04b3-5c80-4a2e-b0de-8ac3a25f225b (scored 100) - Dave Richard on Seattle Seahawks: Richard picks the Seahawks over the Cardinals. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/d3db433e-52c6-42d1-a3b0-6b342aac8a9e (scored 100) - John Pluym on Seattle Seahawks: Pluym picks the Seahawks over the Cardinals. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/e3897747-c55f-4340-9e82-03f9730f87ba (scored 100) ## More availability calls The same kind of call, about other players and teams. - Tyler DeSena on Aaron Brewer: Previewing Miami's Week 10 trip to Indianapolis, DeSena expects center Aaron Brewer to be unavailable for the game while in concussion protocol, and frames the rest of the piece around Jonathan Taylor and Grover Stewart having big days, pressure dominating both passing attacks, and Ollie Gordon setting a career high in carries. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/adc53ba6-9796-4b6d-844b-88b21cc8f089 (not settled) - JP Acosta on Mike Evans: Acosta argues no Super Bowl contender is flawless and names the fatal flaw for each, but the only firm forward-looking claim is that Mike Evans is unlikely to play against Dallas next week.
