STACKED’s take

Negative signalInjury

Darnold sidelined with short-term glute injury; expected back by mid-October.

Darnold has been diagnosed with a very unique soft tissue injury in his glute following extensive tests; his hip joint is unaffected. The team has classified it as a short-term injury with no firm timeline, but confidence remains he will not be out long. He will likely miss Sunday's game at Arizona and has not been placed on injured reserve, suggesting the Seahawks anticipate his return by the 49ers game on Oct. 11 at the latest, though the hope is he returns quicker.
