ESPN • • sports
Key Points:
- Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold is progressing well in his recovery from a glute injury and is on track to play Sunday against the Washington Commanders, though his practice reps remain limited.
- Backup quarterback Drew Lock has led the Seahawks to a 2-0 record with strong performances, completing nearly 73% of his passes and ranking fourth in Total QBR through two games.
- Coach Mike Macdonald emphasized that Darnold's return depends on how he feels and not solely on being fully healthy, with a final decision expected before Friday.
- Safety Nick Emmanwori is expected to have a significantly increased role this week after limited action in Week 2, while rookie Jadarian Price and backup George Holani are limited due to injuries.
- The Seahawks placed right guard Anthony Bradford on injured reserve but do not expect a long-term absence and signed safety Rodney Thomas II from the practice squad to bolster the roster.
