Seahawks' Jalen Milroe: Will get more reps at practice
Rotowire
Milroe will be more involved in practice ahead of Sunday's game versus Arizona, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.
Sam Darnold (glute) won't suit up in Week 2, meaning Drew Lock will be the team's starting signal-caller. Milroe will occupy the No. 2 spot on the depth chart, so head coach Mike Macdonald wants to be sure he is ready to go in case Lock gets injured.

Seahawks' Jalen Milroe: Throws for 223 yards in preseason finale
Rotowire
Milroe completed 16 of 26 pass attempts for 223 yards and one touchdown without any interceptions in Friday's 9-9 preseason tie versus Kansas City.
Milroe played every offensive snap for Seattle, with both Sam Darnold and Drew Lock resting on the sideline. Milroe led the Seahawks on a seven-play scoring drive that ended in a field goal during the first quarter and a 10-play drive that ended with his touchdown pass to Nick Vannett in the third. That TD was his first of a relatively underwhelming preseason. Milroe is locked in behind Darnold and Lock once the regular season starts, so he could regularly serve as Seattle's emergency third QB on gamedays.

Milroe has struggled so far in the preseason, going 11 for 19 for 88 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions.

Seahawks' Jalen Milroe: Will get special package of plays
Rotowire
Milroe will have a special set of plays installed in Seattle's offense for regular-season games, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Coach Mike Macdonald said that Milroe will work with the first-team offense in practice, not necessarily that he will get snaps in games. Macdonald also noted that he wants teams to have to game plan for Milroe's mobility, and specifically cited the tush push the rookie quarterback ran in Seattle's second preseason game as an example. Sam Darnold is the undoubted starter heading into Week 1, but Macdonald's comments also set up an interesting decision as to whether Milroe or Drew Lock will serve as Darnold's backup.

Seahawks' Jalen Milroe: Set to play in preseason opener
Rotowire
Milroe and Drew Lock will split reps in Thursday's preseason game versus the Raiders, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
Sam Darnold and the rest of the non-rookie starters are expected to sit out Thursday. A third-round pick in the 2025 Draft, Milroe is competing with Lock for the backup QB job, and offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak is planning on an even split of reps Thursday. Furthermore, Kubiak is expected to design runs for Milroe, who gained 1,257 yards and 32 touchdowns on the ground through 26 games over his final two seasons at Alabama. While his legs offer intriguing fantasy upside, Thursday's game will provide Milroe with his first opportunity to showcase any improvements he's made to his accuracy as a passer, the primary knock on his college scouting report.
