Seahawks Coach Mike Macdonald Provides Sam Darnold Injury Update

Seattle Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald expects Sam Darnold to return to practice this week, but the quarterback's status for this weekend's game against the Washington Commanders remains uncertain.

Darnold sustained a glute injury in the first series of Seattle's season opener against the New England Patriots. Drew Lock took over and helped the Seahawks to a 13-10 victory, then started Sunday's 31-7 victory over the Arizona Cardinals.

There was no timeline announced for Darnold's return, but it appeared he could be back soon.
