Overview
- Head coach Mike Macdonald and offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak have praised Milroe’s mental and mechanical strides, noting gains in cadence, footwork and decision-making
- In his Aug. 7 debut he completed 6-of-10 passes for 61 yards, rushed for 38 yards on three carries and scored a touchdown in a 23-23 tie with the Raiders
- Seattle is installing the same playbook for Milroe as for Sam Darnold and Drew Lock to build a traditional quarterback foundation despite his dual-threat background
- Milroe is positioned as the third-team quarterback but may see situational snaps that leverage his rushing ability as he develops
- Coaches have not yet finalized his role in Friday’s preseason game against the Chiefs and are still deciding how long the starters will play
