The Seattle Seahawks will be on their fallback plan for at least another week.

Quarterback Sam Darnold has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Las Vegas Raiders, coach Mike Macdonald announced Monday on ESPN Radio in Seattle.

Drew Lock is battling an oblique injury and tendinitis, but Macdonald said he believed the backup could once again fill in as the starter.

Lock stepped in for Darnold on Sunday and helped lead the way in a 17-3 win over the Arizona Cardinals. He threw for 175 yards and a touchdown on 19-of-28 passing, but Macdonald said after the game that the quarterback's status was "up in the air" for Week 10 after Lock was hurt in the second half.

Further evaluation, however, seemed to bode well for the seventh-year signal-caller.

"Good exam for Drew," Macdonald said in his radio interview, according to The Athletic. "He's dealing with an oblique. And, I think it's something we can manage."

Darnold, who has a quad injury and a cracked rib, could return after the Seahawks' Week 11 bye.
