Report: Seahawks Seek Multiple Medical Opinons on Sam Darnold's Injury
Ian Rapoport said the Seahawks quarterback has a muscular glute injury and is not expected to miss the season.
- NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport reported Sunday that Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold has a glute injury, not a hip issue, and is expected to miss "probably a couple games" while recovering.
- The injury occurred during Wednesday's season opener when Dre'Mont Jones sacked Darnold five plays into the game against the New England Patriots, forcing the quarterback out for the remainder of the evening.
- Backup quarterback Drew Lock replaced Darnold, completing 16 of 22 passes for 187 yards and a touchdown while leading the Seahawks to a 13-10 victory over the Patriots.
- Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald confirmed Darnold is ruled out for the Week 2 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, September 20, as the team evaluates the full extent of the muscle injury.
- Depending on his recovery, Darnold could return for the Week 3 road game against the Washington Commanders on September 27 or the Week 4 home game against the Chargers, as the injury is not considered major.
