Seattle Seahawks quarterback Drew Lock (COVID-19) will not play in Thursday's preseason contest against the Chicago Bears.
Despite being named Thursday's starting quarterback, Lock will not be available for health protocol reasons. Expect Geno Smith to make another start under center as Seattle's front-running opening day starter while Lock remains a volatile option after he ranked 31st among quarterbacks with a 60.0 Pro Football Focus rating last season.
Lock's current 2022 yearly projection includes 172.4 completions for 1,891.1 yards and 11.5 touchdowns and 19.9 rushing attempts for 87.2 yards.
