The Story in 60 Seconds

Seattle Seahawks guard Quenton Nelson will undergo a minor knee procedure and is considered week-to-week, head coach Mike Macdonald announced on Friday. Acquired recently in a trade with the Indianapolis Colts, Nelson aggravated an existing issue, prompting the team to opt for surgery rather than placing him on injured reserve.

With Nelson sidelined, Grey Zabel will shift back to left guard while Anthony Bradford returns to start at right guard. The Seahawks also ruled out starting quarterback Sam Darnold alongside several key defenders for Sunday's matchup against the Arizona Cardinals, meaning Drew Lock will start under center.
