Darnold is expected to miss next week's game at Arizona, according to reports from both the NFL Network and Fox Sports. Glazer referred to the injury as 'a tendon injury in the glute' and said that 'he's going to miss next week (Sunday's game at Arizona). We have no idea after that.' Rapoport gave the same prognosis as Glazer, stating Darnold 'is going to be out next week and then we'll see. Probably a couple games was the description given to me.'

Darnold out Week 2 with glute injury; possible Week 3 return pending second opinions

Darnold is expected to miss Week 2 at Arizona due to a glute/tendon injury suffered when sacked by Dre'Mont Jones in Wednesday's game against the Patriots. Jay Glazer reported it as a tendon injury in the glute; Ian Rapoport characterized it as a muscle injury not considered major. Both sources indicated Darnold will miss Week 2, with a possible return for Week 3 at Washington on Sept. 27, though the Seahawks are seeking four second opinions to determine the exact timetable. Rapoport's description suggested probably a couple games of absence.
