Smith is expected to start Thursday's preseason game against the Bears after Drew Lock tested positive for COVID-19 on Tuesday, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

After handling first-team reps at Tuesday's practice and then being announced as the Seahawks' starting quarterback for the second preseason game by coach Pete Carroll, Lock will be unavailable to practice or play for at least the next five days. As a result, Smith -- who remains the team's No. 1 QB on the depth chart -- should get some more work with the top available skill-position players Thursday before handing the offense over to Jacob Eason.
