Rushes once in debut
Milroe rushed once for one yard in Sunday's 17-13 loss to the 49ers.
Analysis: Milroe came into the game on second down in the first quarter and rushed up the middle for one yard. The Seahawks have openly stated that Milroe would have a special package of plays during the season while Sam Darnold is the starting quarterback, and it's clear that they're easing the rookie third-round pick into this role. Milroe's next chance to get on the field will be Sunday versus the Steelers.

Will get special package of plays
Milroe will have a special set of plays installed in Seattle's offense for regular-season games, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Analysis: Coach Mike Macdonald said that Milroe will work with the first-team offense in practice, not necessarily that he will get snaps in games. Macdonald also noted that he wants teams to have to game plan for Milroe's mobility, and specifically cited the tush push the rookie quarterback ran in Seattle's second preseason game as an example. Sam Darnold is the undoubted starter heading into Week 1, but Macdonald's comments also set up an interesting decision as to whether Milroe or Drew Lock will…read more

Throws first preseason touchdown
Milroe completed 13 of 24 passes for 148 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Saturday's 20-7 preseason loss to the Packers. He added seven rushes for 31 yards while also losing three fumbles.
Analysis: Milroe was the only Seahawks quarterback to play, and there were plenty of positives and negatives to take away from his performance. He struggled against the Packers' better defensive personnel and managed to lead only one scoring drive that came early in the fourth quarter, while also taking five sacks and turning the ball over three times. More positively, Milroe displayed solid skills on Seattle's scoring drive, showing accuracy to all levels of the field -- including an 18-yard touchdown…read more

Will play entire preseason finale
Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald said Thursday that Milroe will start and play the entirety of Saturday's preseason finale on the road against Green Bay, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athleticreports.
Analysis: Milroe played the entire second half of Seattle's preseason opener and entered the team's second exhibition tilt late in the third quarter, taking the field after Drew Lock on both occasions, but the rookie third-rounder will now get a sizeable opportunity to showcase his talents under center. While Milroe may need a longer developmental period before truly challenging Lock's status as the No. 2 quarterback behind starter Sam Darnold, he could contribute early in his career via designed runs in…read more

Minimal passing production in debut
Milroe completed six of 10 passes for 61 yards while rushing three times for 38 yards in Thursday's 23-23 preseason tie against the Raiders.
Analysis: Milroe played the entire second half after Drew Lock played the first half. The rookie third-round pick's muted passing performance in his NFL debut suggests he may not be ready to challenge Sam Darnold or Lock for one of the top two spots on the depth chart, though Milroe put his rushing ability on display with a 27-yard run in the fourth quarter. Milroe will likely see significant action against the Chiefs on Aug. 15 in Seattle's second preseason game.

Set to play in preseason opener
Milroe and Drew Lock will split reps in Thursday's preseason game versus the Raiders, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
Analysis: Sam Darnold and the rest of the non-rookie starters are expected to sit out Thursday. A third-round pick in the 2025 Draft, Milroe is competing with Lock for the backup QB job, and offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak is planning on an even split of reps Thursday. Furthermore, Kubiak is expected to design runs for Milroe, who gained 1,257 yards and 32 touchdowns on the ground through 26 games over his final two seasons at Alabama. While his legs offer intriguing fantasy upside, Thursday's game…read more
