Seahawks-Commanders game designations: Sam Darnold will play, Julian Love ruled out
Field Gulls • • sports
Key Points:
- Sam Darnold will return as the Seattle Seahawks' starting quarterback on Sunday after missing the first two games due to a glute injury, with Drew Lock as backup and Jalen Milroe as emergency third QB.
- The Seahawks will be without both starting safeties, as Julian Love is sidelined with a calf issue and Ty Okada is still recovering from a hamstring injury, leading to Rodney Thomas II and A.J. Finley starting in the secondary.
- Seattle may promote a practice squad safety, either Maxen Hook or D’Anthony Bell, to bolster the safety position for the upcoming game.
- Nose tackle Brandon Pili is questionable due to a concussion and neck injury, but overall Seattle's injury list is relatively light compared to the Washington Commanders.
- The Commanders face significant absences including guard Sam Cosmi, tight end Chig Okonkwo, linebacker Frankie Luvu, and safety Nick Cross, impacting their lineup against Seattle.
