Lock and the Giants have reached agreement on a contract, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lock joins a quarterback room with Daniel Jones (knee), Tommy DeVito and Jacob Eason, after former Giant Tyrod Taylor reached an agreement with the Jets on Monday. It's a situation that strongly favors Lock for the No. 2 QB job, though the Giants may not be done making additions/subtractions to the group, with the upcoming NFL Draft offering potential to add a long-term replacement for Jones (who is rehabbing an ACL tear). Lock made four appearances for Seattle in 2023, including two starts, completing 48 of 76 passes (63.2 percent) for 543 yards (7.1 YPA), three touchdowns and three interceptions. He never panned out as a starter in Denver after going in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft, but Lock at least looks like the part of a high-end backup after his moderately successful cameo with the Seahawks last year.

Lock completed 48 of 76 passes for 543 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions across four games in the 2023 season. He also rushed five times for 14 yards.

EDGE Analysis

Lock started two games, finishing with a 1-1 record after a thrilling win over the Eagles in Week 15. The 27-year-old quarterback recorded 7.1 YPA while 10 of his 76 passes went for 20-plus yards. Lock certainly appears to be one of the top backups in the league, but his chances of being a starter in 2024 are slim, especially with a solid rookie quarterback class coming in. Nevertheless, he'll be a free agent in March and could seek a better chance to start elsewhere, as Geno Smith's contract all but guarantees he's the starter in Seattle to begin next season.

Lock's teammate Geno Smith (groin) will return to full practice participation Wednesday, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lock played reasonably well during Smith's two-week absence, but coach Pete Carroll already confirmed that Smith will return to the starting role once he's healthy. With Smith apparently now ready, Lock will be the backup quarterback this Sunday at Tennessee.

Lock completed 22 of 33 pass attempts for 208 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 20-17 win over Philadelphia.

EDGE Analysis

Lock got the nod under center Monday even though Geno Smith (groin) was able to complete his usual pregame warmup. The move was likely a precautionary one made by head coach Pete Carroll, given the slick conditions at Lumen Field and the lower-body nature of Smith's injury. Lock wound up leading the Seahawks to victory by completing two-thirds of his passes without committing a turnover over the now 10-4 Eagles. The backup's strong play Monday could earn him another start for Seattle when the club visits Tennessee on Sunday.

Lock is in line to start Monday's contest against the Eagles, even with Geno Smith (groin) being deemed active by the Seahawks, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith was able to complete a pregame workout as he tested out his balky groin, but after Seattle posted its list of Week 15 inactives that didn't include his name, he didn't make an appearance during warmups. Lock proceeded to work with the team's first-team offense, with Sean Mannion mixing in behind him. Assuming he gets the nod after Monday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff, Lock will get his second start in a row in place of Smith.

Lock was spotted warming up with the Seahawks' first-team offense ahead of Monday's game versus the Eagles, despite Geno Smith (groin) being active, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

In fact, Smith hasn't been seen on the field during pregame warmups since completing an earlier workout in which he looked like his normal self. The Seahawks have declined to name a starting quarterback with less than 30 minutes to go before Monday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff, but Lock may be the favorite to do so over Smith considering the current situation.

Lock completed 22 of 31 pass attempts for 269 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's 28-16 loss to the 49ers.

EDGE Analysis

Lock got the nod under center after starter Geno Smith (groin) was officially ruled out after attempting to warm up unsuccessfully prior to Sunday's kickoff. The backup performed admirably in a pinch, especially considering the difficulty of opponent he was asked to start against. Lock actually had the Seahawks within striking distance of the NFC's new No. 1 seed to begin the fourth quarter, but he promptly threw two interceptions, and Seattle wore its seventh loss of the season. Given the fact that Smith had a shot to play Sunday, there is a good chance Lock resumes his backup role against the Eagles next Monday.

Lock will start at quarterback for the Seahawks on Sunday at San Francisco with Geno Smith (groin) inactive, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith showed up on Seattle's Week 14 injury report Thursday with a groin concern, which limited him that day and kept him out of drills entirely one day later. Coach Pete Carroll termed Smith a game-time decision Friday, but the quarterback ultimately wasn't able to make it through a pregame warmup and make himself available for Sunday's game. Lock thus will earn his first start since Jan. 8, 2022 as a member of the Broncos. In 26 appearances (21 starts) in his five-year career, he's completed 58.9 percent of his passes, averaged 184.8 yards per game and posted a 25:21 TD:INT.

Lock has been staying prepared to start Sunday's game against the 49ers while Geno Smith (groin) is listed as questionable for the contest but viewed as a game-time decision, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lock took the majority of Seattle's first-team reps during Friday's practice after Smith tweaked his groin during Thursday's session. According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, Smith is dealing with what is "roughly considered a two-week injury," but Seattle's top signal-caller remains hopeful to play Sunday at well below 100 percent health. Before the Seahawks make a decision on a Week 14 starting quarterback, the coaching and medical staffs will see how Smith fares in pregame warmups. Confirmation on whether Smith or Lock will start Sunday's contest will likely come with the release of the Seahawks' inactive list approximately 90 minutes prior to the 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff. If Lock is indeed called upon to start Sunday, it will be his first start since joining Seattle in a trade from Denver back in March 2022.

Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll suggested after Friday's practice that Lock could start Sunday's game against the 49ers with Geno Smith (groin) listed as questionable and being labeled as a game-time decision, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports. "He's been waiting for this opportunity. If this comes to pass he is as ready as he's going to get," Carroll said of Lock.

EDGE Analysis

Smith's groin injury cropped up during Thursday's practice, when the quarterback "stumbled over somebody," Carroll relayed to Bell. Carroll went on to note that Smith was rested at Friday's practice, but the Seahawks are seemingly still hopeful that their usual starting signal-caller will be able to play Sunday. If Smith is unable to show enough improvement ahead of Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff, however, Lock has kept himself prepared to make what would be his first start for Seattle since he was acquired from Denver as part of the March 2022 deal that sent Russell Wilson to the Broncos. Lock has thus far been limited to just two relief appearances through his one-plus seasons in Seattle, completing four of 12 pass attempts for 66 yards and an interception.
