The Story

The Seattle Seahawks host the Arizona Cardinals at Lumen Field in an NFC West matchup on Sunday, November 8, with kickoff scheduled for 4:25 p.m. ET / 1:25 p.m. PT (9:25 p.m. GMT).

The game is part of Week 9 of the NFL regular season. In the standings heading into the matchup, the Cardinals are 3-5 and have won three of five road starts, while the Seahawks are 4-4. The source also notes Seattle has won 10 straight games against Arizona dating back to January 2022.

In the United States, the matchup is listed for Fox, Fox One and Fubo. In the United Kingdom, it is listed for DAZN Game Pass.

Both rosters enter the game with significant injury impacts, creating a quarterback reshuffling in Seattle and a change at the top in Arizona.

For the Seahawks, starting quarterback Sam Darnold is ruled out after sustaining a quadriceps injury and a cracked rib in a Monday night loss to the Bears. Drew Lock is set to make the start, with the source stating he has been managing a right elbow issue but was a full participant by Friday and is completely cleared. Rookie Jalen Milroe is listed as the backup.

The Seahawks’ availability picture extends beyond quarterback. The source says Quenton Nelson is out and will undergo a minor knee procedure, with star left tackle Charles Cross also ruled out with an ankle injury. Defensively, it lists Leonard Williams (stinger) and Uchenna Nwosu (ankle) as out, and it also notes Rashid Shaheed is out with a knee injury.

For Arizona, the source says Gardner Minshew has been named QB1 after his comeback performance against the Dallas Cowboys last week, and that Jacoby Brissett is no longer with the team following a trade to the Baltimore Ravens on Friday.

Arizona is also missing multiple offensive pieces. Jon Gaines II (ankle) and Jayden Williams (knee) are ruled out, while the source reports Isaiah Adams’ 21-day practice window has been opened and he is listed as Questionable. On the backfield side, Bam Knight is out with a concussion, leaving Tyler Allgeier and Evan Hull to handle the rushing workload with James Conner already on IR.

On defense, the source lists Walter Nolen (ankle) and Max Melton (knee) as Questionable, after both logged limited practice sessions late in the week.
