1. A nice Darnold to Kupp touchdown highlighted a productive day for the passing game.
Monday’s practice was a good one for all three of Seattle’s quarterbacks, with Sam Darnold, Drew Lock and Jalen Milroe all completing multiple throws downfield for big gains. Milroe, who figures to see the most playing time in the preseason, prepared for Thursday’s game by completing long passes to Cody White, Elijah Arroyo and others, while Lock connected with White for one of the day’s best throws and catches. Darnold, who along with most of the starters is not expected to play Thursday, was sharp, moving the ball well and hitting the likes of Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Cooper Kupp and tight ends Elijah Arroyo and AJ Barner for big gains. But for all the long completions, a short pass from Darnold to Kupp might have been the best throw and catch of the day, with Darnold rolling left in a red zone drill before firing a low pass that only Kupp could reach, allowing the veteran receiver to secure the catch while getting two feet in the corner of the end zone.
