Yahoo Sports NFL on Sam Darnold

Darnold's glute strain likely sidelines him two weeks max; better than feared hip injury.

Sam Darnold has a glute muscle strain, not a hip injury as initially feared. According to ESPN's Ian Rapoport, he is almost certainly out against Arizona in Week 2, with Week 3 at Washington a "we'll see" situation. The source suggests he may sit out the road trip and return for Week 4 at home against Los Angeles, meaning two games at most is the best possible outcome given initial injury concerns.
