Yahoo Sports NFL on Sam Darnold

Darnold faces 4-6 week absence from glute injury; out for Week 2 minimum.

Darnold suffered a glute injury in Week 1 against New England and will miss at least Week 2 against Arizona. Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio reported a more discouraging timetable than ESPN's Ian Rapoport: Darnold could miss four to six weeks and won't require surgery. Rapoport indicated Darnold is a "we'll see" for Week 3 return, but the Seahawks plan to be cautious with their starting quarterback. The injury timeline is particularly concerning given Seattle faces a difficult stretch starting Week 4 with the Chargers, followed by divisional rivals San Francisco in Week 5 and Kansas City in Week 7.
