Geno Smith questionable to return to MNF game with knee injury, Drew Lock takes over at QB

The Seattle Seahawks may have lost another key player in their Monday Night Football matchup against the New York Giants, quarterback Geno Smith.

On the opening drive of the game, the Seahawks star safety Jamal Adams took a knee to the head and left the game with a concussion. Now, midway through the second quarter, Smith is on the sideline being evaluated for a lower leg injury. Smith has since left the sideline and is back in the locker room as the game draws near halftime.

The unfortunate injury to the Seahawks starter has provided backup quarterback Drew Lock with his first regular season snaps in a Seattle uniform. It is unclear whether or not Smith will return to the game after halftime. If he does not return, his night will end up completing 9 of 11 pass attempts for 68 yards and one passing touchdown.

Update: Smith was able to warm up and took the field for the second half for Seattle

Adams ruled out for the remainder of the game

On the opening drive of the game, Giants quarterback Daniel Jones attempted to scramble for the first down. Adams made the first down-stopping tackle but struggled to get back up to his feet and needed help getting off the field. On the replay, the Seahawks safety took a knee to the head and appeared dazed afterward.

Since heading to the medical tent, Adams has now headed to the locker room and has been ruled out of the rest of the game, playing in just 9 snaps in his season debut. After leaving the tent and heading to the locker room, the Seahawks star safety was visibly upset. Monday Night Football sideline reporter Lisa Salters provided an update on Adams while confirming his status for the game.

“Jamal Adams has now been ruled out for the rest of this game. We saw him take that hit to the side of his head by Daniel Jones’ knee. And he looked a little shaken up even as he was being helped off of the field. He went into the medical tent with the UNC, the unaffiliated neuro consultant. The Seahawks confirmed he was being evaluated for a concussion. But he was heated when he came out of the tent, had to be restrained, (and was) visibly upset with the UNC doctor even as he walked back to the locker room,” reported Salters.
