Seattle Seahawks' Drew Lock 'was dragging' during practice before testing positive for COVID-19
RENTON, Wash. -- Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said quarterback Drew Lock was feeling so sick that he "barely made it off the practice field" on Tuesday, shortly before he tested positive for COVID-19.
"He was dragging," Carroll said Wednesday. "We were going to do post-practice work but [decided] no, let's get him out of here. It hit him. He's had it before already. He's done all of the work to get prepped for it. It just so happens that it got him again."
Lock's latest bout with COVID will sideline him Thursday night for what would have been his first start of the preseason, a setback in his battle with Geno Smith to replace Russell Wilson as Seattle's starter.
