STACKED’s take

Negative signalInjury

Darnold out for Week 2 after season-opening injury; Lock gets full starter reps.

Darnold suffered an injury on the fifth play of the 2026 season opener against New England, forcing Drew Lock into emergency duty. The source confirms Darnold will miss the Week 2 Cardinals game, meaning Lock will be the full-time starter with a week of preparation rather than mid-game insertion.
