Drew Lock replaces Sam Darnold in Patriots clash after suffering hip injury
- On Wednesday, Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold exited the season opener against the New England Patriots with a hip injury after being sacked by Dre'Mont Jones for a five-yard loss.
- Following the sack, Darnold visited the blue medical tent before walking to the locker room on his own power, signaling initial concern about the lower-body injury.
- NFL Network's Jane Slater reported Darnold is receiving X-rays in the locker room, while backup Drew Lock replaced him for the following series.
- Team officials confirmed Darnold is questionable to return to the game due to the hip injury, leaving his availability for the remainder of Wednesday's contest uncertain.
- Despite Darnold's durability over the past two seasons—he played all 17 games for Minnesota in 2024 and all 17 plus playoffs for Seattle—the Seahawks have depth with Lock, who has appeared in 41 games with 28 career starts.
