Darnold's glute injury may resolve sooner than four-week timeline; hip joint unaffected.

Sam Darnold was officially ruled out for Week 2 after suffering a unique soft-tissue glute injury during Seattle's season opener; initial fears pointed toward a potentially lengthy absence or even a stint on IR, but further medical evaluations confirmed the hip joint itself is completely unaffected. The Seahawks have elected not to place Darnold on IR, suggesting optimism about his recovery timeline. While the organization is preparing for a recovery that could last up to four weeks, recent comments from both the coaching staff and the medical team indicate that Darnold could return much sooner. Drew Lock will get the start against Washington while Darnold continues working his way back.
