A week removed from the injury, Smith said he is "just feeling better. Just feeling better in that area, and pretty much my entire body is a work in progress. Moreso than Sunday, I'm able to be a little bit more mobile than I was on Sunday."
While Smith obviously would have preferred to be playing, he did like seeing Drew Lock get a chance to make his first start as a Seahawk, a performance that included a pair of touchdown passes and 269 passing yards, as well as two interceptions, against one of the NFL's top defenses.
"I always believe Drew is going to do great things," Smith said. "I think he has the ability, I think he works extremely hard, I think he deserves his opportunity when it comes, and I was happy to see him go out there and make some really nice plays. I know that he feels like he can do some things better, but that's all of us and that's every game. I was just happy to see him out there having fun. I thought he did a great job."
Lock, meanwhile, is spending his week preparing both for being Smith's backup and also the possibility of starting, which isn't too different from the usual role of a backup quarterback, with the big exception being that he is getting some reps with the starting offense, as Smith has been limited in practice on Thursday and Friday.
"You've got to go back to all the weeks you've logged as the backup, what your schedule is, how you feel like you're most prepared going into this game, and really attack it like you're the backup this week," he said. "That's been my mentality going forward, but I'm also really ready to play. I like to think I'm ready to go in and play every game, no matter what the situation is, so that's why I go back to, how am I going to get ready as a backup today, because that's probably how it'll start, but we'll see."
