Sam Darnold Headshot

Seahawks QB Sam Darnold is "looking at about a 4-week return to play" from his injury, NFL Network's Mike Garafolo said Tuesday. "Could potentially be a little bit sooner than that," Garafolo adds, who later said the timeline is "right in line with a couple of weeks." It was a loose report from Garafolo, but it was more pessimistic than the last report from NFL Network's Ian Rapoport that Darnold would likely miss just a couple of games. He's dealing with a unique glute injury, so his timetable for return still seems uncertain. Expect QB Drew Lock to start Weeks 2 and 3. We'll see about Darnold's availability beyond that.
