Sam Darnold is out for Seattle in Week nine, and the Seahawks are feeling it. Head coach Mike Macdonald confirmed the quad injury sidelines Darnold for Sunday's divisional matchup against the Arizona Cardinals, leaving Seattle scrambling at the most important position on the field in a game that matters in the NFC West standings.
Shifting to Kansas City, Andy Reid made it crystal clear — Harrison Butker is not going anywhere. The Chiefs head coach confirmed Butker remains the kicker in Kansas City, putting to rest any speculation that the team might be considering a change. Reid's loyalty to his guy is firm, and in a kicking game that can swing a championship, that kind of certainty matters.
And on the roster moves front, the Los Angeles Rams have signed Cam Lampkin to the fifty-three man roster while placing Dean Connors on injured reserve. It's the kind of mid-season roster chess that doesn't grab headlines but shapes how a team survives the back half of a long and punishing season.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
