Sam Darnold is "recovering faster than anyone had anticipated"

Ian Rapoport said Darnold has a pretty good chance to practice this week after a glute injury, and Seattle may only need to wait one or two starts.

  • On Sunday, September 20, the Seattle Seahawks ruled starting quarterback Sam Darnold out for the Week 2 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals due to a glute injury.
  • Darnold suffered the soft-tissue glute injury during the Week 1 game against the New England Patriots, leaving after the opening possession.
  • Backup quarterback Drew Lock stepped in, leading Seattle to a 31-7 victory over Arizona that improved the team's record to 2-0.
  • Opting against placing Darnold on injured reserve, the team indicated it does not expect the injury to keep him out for an extended period.
  • Coach Mike Macdonald said the quarterback's timetable "has shifted quite drastically," suggesting Darnold could return to practice this week.
