STACKED’s take

Negative signalInjury

Darnold out at least Week 2 with unusual hip muscle strain; no IR yet, return timeline TBD.

Darnold suffered an unusual muscle strain in his hip area after being sacked by Dre'Mont Jones on the opening drive of Seattle's 13-10 win over New England; MRI showed no fracture. The source reports no consideration of IR at this point, but his timetable to return remains TBD. Darnold will likely not be available for at least Week 2 against Arizona; if placed on IR before that game, he would not return until at least Week 6 against Denver. If timetable leans toward returning sooner, he could be back at the start of October for the Chargers and 49ers homestand.
