Seahawks’ Drew Lock takes first-team reps pregame, appears set to start as Geno Smith deals with groin injury

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith, who is dealing with a groin injury, is active for Monday night’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Whether he’ll start, however, remains uncertain.

According to ESPN, Seattle went into the game thinking that Drew Lock would be the starting QB for “Monday Night Football.” But now that Smith is active, head coach Pete Carroll has a decision to make about who gives the team a better chance to pull the upset and snap its four-game losing streak.

On the Seahawks pregame show, general manager John Schneider said Smith surprised the team’s decision-makers with how he was able to move in pregame workouts. Schneider said that Smith aggravated the injury a little bit in practice this week, which contributed to him being listed as questionable for Monday night’s showdown.

According to reporters on scene, it was Lock getting reps with the first-team offense with Smith nowhere to be found. That would lead us to believe that Lock will get the start, but it remains to be seen.
