Seahawks QB Sam Darnold (glute) has been ruled out for Sunday's game vs. the Cardinals. The team has no plans to place him on IR, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter, but the early rule out doesn't bode well for Darnold's chances of making it back for Week 3. QB Drew Lock gets the start this weekend. He'll likely prove to be a downgrade from Darnold but had no problem getting the ball to WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the opener. JSN remains a must-start in Week 2, but no other Seattle pass catchers should be in fantasy lineups.

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.

Seahawks QB Sam Darnold has a glute injury, rather than the previously reported hip, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Rapoport confirms that Darnold will miss Week 2's meeting with the Cardinals and will "probably" miss a couple of games. Seattle plays at Washington in Week 3 before returning home to face the Chargers in Week 4. Week 5 is a big divisional home game vs. the 49ers. It sounds like Darnold should at least be back for that one, if not sooner.

Seahawks QB Sam Darnold injured his hip at the end of his first drive in last night’s game against the New England Patriots, but HC Mike Macdonald said the team got “really, really good news” on the injury. Darnold is still expected to miss next week’s game against the Cardinals, though it sounds like he’ll be back sooner than expected.

The Seahawks believe QB Sam Darnold "dodged a bullet" with his hip injury, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Darnold is still expected to miss time, Schefter adds, but the docs are reviewing the MRI results to determine exactly how long he'll be out. We'll continue to keep you updated on Darnold's status, but it'll be QB Drew Lock at the controls for the foreseeable future.

Seahawks QB Sam Darnold's hip is not broken, HC Mike Macdonald said after Wednesday night's win over the Patriots. "At this point, we are able to rule out a fracture," Macdonald said. "So there's some more tests to be done. ... We're still working through all that, but right now I think fracture is out, which is great news." A CT scan on Darnold's hip returned "encouraging but inconclusive" results, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. He's scheduled for an MRI on Thursday.

Seahawks QB Sam Darnold will not return to Thursday night's opener vs. the Patriots. He's heading off-site to undergo further testing on the hip, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. We should learn more about Darnold's status over the next 24 hours. QB Drew Lock will be at the controls for as long as Darnold is out. Lock has all the arm talent in the world but isn't as accurate or reliable as Darnold.

Seahawks QB Sam Darnold suffered an apparent right hip injury at the end of a sack on the first possession of Thursday night's opener vs. the Patriots. He headed back to the locker room with trainers and is officially questionable to return. QB Drew Lock has replaced Darnold. We'll update his status when we know more.

Seahawks QB Sam Darnold is listed as questionable for Saturday night's Divisional Round game vs. the 49ers with an oblique injury. He was added to the injury report on Thursday and officially limited in practice. Darnold said afterward that he felt something in his left side near the start of practice. “In routes on air felt a little something in my oblique and didn’t want to push it. Wasn’t the day to push it,” he said. “That was it. Came inside, got some rehab and feel like I’ll be ready to go for Saturday.” We'll keep you updated on Darnold's status and get Seattle's inactives around 6:30 pm ET on Saturday. QB Drew Lock would get the call if Darnold is unable to play.

Giants QB Drew Lock returned to the lineup for Sunday's game against Falcons and resumed underwhelming. He threw for just 210 yards -- at 5.4 yards per pass attempt -- with 2 INTs, 3 sacks taken, and one fumble lost.

Giants QB Drew Lock will start Sunday's game vs. the Falcons, HC Brian Daboll said. QB Tommy DeVito is in concussion protocol, while Tim Boyle ... is Tim Boyle. Lock hasn't been any good this year, completing 51% of his passes at 4.6 yards per attempt with 0 TDs and 2 INTs. He at least targeted WR Malik Nabers 23 times on a 28.4% share in his two full games. Nabers caught 13 of those passes for 148 yards. He remains a fine WR2 play this week. Lock should be nowhere near fantasy lineups.

Giants QB Drew Lock (heel, elbow) is listed as doubtful for Sunday’s game vs. the Ravens. QB Tommy DeVito will make his second start of the season in that one. He sits 30th in the Week 15 QB Rankings.

QB Tommy DeVito will start for the Giants this week according to HC Brian Daboll. QB Drew Lock is currently in a walking boot due to a heel injury

Giants RB Tyrone Tracy Jr. again led the backfield with 21 backfield touches to Devin Singletary’s two. Tracy only rushed for 45 yards on 16 carries but did fine the endzone. He also drew 10 targets catching five for 38 yards.

The Giants are planning to start QB Drew Lock against the Saints this weekend, HC Brian Daboll said Wednesday. Lock was not good vs. the Cowboys on Thanksgiving, averaging 5.6 yards per pass attempt with 0 TDs and a pick-six. He ran for 57 yards and a score, though. And the decision is defensible when QB Tommy DeVito is the other option. That, of course, doesn't make Lock a good fantasy play. He sits 24th in the Week 14 QB Rankings.

Giants WR Malik Nabers caught eight of those 13 targets for 69 yards. Lock didn’t show much more promise than any other Giants QB, throwing a pick six and running for a TD. Nabers’ talent earns him the targets, but inaccurate passes from poor QB play have continued to hold him back.

Giants QB Tommy DeVito (foreman) is inactive as the emergency third QB for today’s game vs. the Cowboys. QB Drew Lock gets the start in his place. Lock shouldn’t be anywhere near season-long fantasy lineups, although we are projecting him as a slight upgrade for WR Malik Nabers and the Giants passing game.

Giants QB Tommy DeVito appears to be a longshot to play on Thanksgiving due to his forearm injury. He is formally listed as questionable, but Drew Lock is in line to start, according to reports. DeVito's injury will be evaluated further.
