From the episode

They feel like he's made a lot of progress over the past week, and he was actually elevated to a full practice yesterday... Darnold has said yesterday, I think the word he said was striving. I'm striving to play Sunday. So if he hits the benchmarks they need him to hit, then yeah, I don't think they're going to hold him out one more week.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalInjury

Darnold elevated to full practice; likely to play Sunday if he clears benchmarks.

Sam Darnold has made significant progress from his injury and was elevated to full practice yesterday. The Seahawks want to give him a chance to play Sunday against Washington if he hits their benchmarks. Darnold said yesterday he is 'striving to play Sunday.' Matthew Berry expects clarity today on whether Darnold will play, noting the recovery has been quicker than initially expected. If Darnold clears, Berry believes the Seahawks will play him rather than hold him out for extra caution.
