Title: Geno Smith Active for Seahawks, John Schneider Praises His Performance in Pre-Game Workout
Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith will be in uniform for the upcoming game, although he will not be starting. In a surprising move, Seahawks General Manager John Schneider commended Smith’s improved movement during his pregame workout, despite limited practice time.
Initially, the team expected Drew Lock to take the helm following Smith’s injury in practice, but Smith’s unexpected progress encouraged the coaching staff and management. Smith’s availability for the game was uncertain, as he was initially listed as questionable.
During warm-ups, Lock took first-team reps, fueling speculation regarding who would ultimately assume the starting position for the Seahawks. However, according to ESPN, the decision has been made, and Lock will be making his second start for the team.
Last week, Lock successfully made his Seattle debut, completing 22 of 31 passes for 269 yards. Despite the impressive yardage, he also registered two touchdowns and two interceptions, ending in defeat against the 49ers. This performance occurred while Smith was sidelined due to his injury.
The Seahawks organization and fans alike will be closely watching Lock’s performance this weekend, eager to witness his development as a starting quarterback. With his previous experience under his belt, Lock will strive to lead the team to victory and showcase his potential as the Seahawks’ long-term solution.
Stay tuned for further updates on Geno Smith’s recovery and the overall performance of both quarterbacks as the Seahawks take on their upcoming opponents.
