GENO SMITH NEWS

Practices after knee bruise Smith and Drew Lock split first-team reps at Sunday's practice, John Boyle of Seahawks.com reports.

Impact Lock returned after missing Thursday's preseason game against the Bears due to COVID-19, while Smith bounced back quickly after bruising his knee in that contest. Lock figures to play a lot in the final preseason game, after Smith completed 10 of 18 passes for 112 yards last week in Lock's absence. Coach Pete Carroll says he's in no hurry to name a Week 1 starter.

Dealing with knee bruise Smith suffered a knee bruise in Thursday's preseason matchup against the Bears, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Impact Smith got banged up on a scramble in the first quarter and was spotted with a bag of ice on his knees afterward. However, coach Pete Carroll told reporters that Smith could have returned to action if necessary, but with Drew Lock (illness) also sidelined there was no need for the Seahawks to risk further loss to their quarterback depth chart. Prior to leaving the exhibition contest, Smith completed 10 of 18 passes for 112 yards.

Impact After Drew Lock tested positive for COVID-19 on Tuesday, Smith earned a second consecutive start to kick off the Seahawks' exhibition slate. Through the entire process of the quarterback battle in Seattle, coach Pete Carroll has maintained that Smith is the team's No. 1 signal-caller, but with both players seemingly tending to health concerns, it stands to reason Carroll may delay announcing who will be under center Week 1. The Seahawks have one more preseason outing remaining on Friday, Aug. 26 in Dallas before a decision must be made.

Likely starting Thursday Smith is expected to start Thursday's preseason game against the Bears after Drew Lock tested positive for COVID-19 on Tuesday, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Impact After handling first-team reps at Tuesday's practice and then being announced as the Seahawks' starting quarterback for the second preseason game by coach Pete Carroll, Lock will be unavailable to practice or play for at least the next five days. As a result, Smith -- who remains the team's No. 1 QB on the depth chart -- should get some more work with the top available skill-position players Thursday before handing the offense over to Jacob Eason.

Still No. 1 quarterback Smith won't start Thursday's preseason contest against the Bears, but he remains the No. 1 quarterback on the Seahawks' depth chart, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact For the first time since training camp kicked off, Smith yielded all the reps with the first-team offense to Drew Lock at Tuesday's practice, but it appears the development is nothing more than getting the latter prepared for the team's second exhibition. In preseason Week 1, Smith worked the first half, while Lock handled every snap after halftime, so a similar breakdown, only reversed, may come to pass Thursday.
