Seahawks injury update: ‘No consideration of IR at this point’ for Sam Darnold
Field Gulls • • sports
Key Points:
- Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold is expected to miss at least Week 2 against the Arizona Cardinals due to a hip injury sustained during the opening drive of their 13-10 win over the New England Patriots.
- MRI results showed no fracture, and the injury is described as a short-term muscle strain, though it is considered an unusual type of strain.
- If placed on injured reserve before the Cardinals game, Darnold would be sidelined until at least Week 7 against the Kansas City Chiefs; otherwise, a return could happen around early October during a two-game homestand.
- In Darnold's absence, Drew Lock will start at quarterback with Jalen Milroe as the backup.
