From the article
Darnold's timetable 'has shifted quite drastically' in the last 10 days since he suffered his injury against the Patriots; Macdonald said 'Yeah, I'll say it's possible' he plays Washington and 'there's a chance that he comes back and practices at some point' this week.
STACKED’s take
Darnold's glute injury recovery accelerated; possible to play vs. Washington this week.
Darnold's recovery from a glute injury suffered in Week 1 against the Patriots has accelerated significantly; coach Mike Macdonald said his timetable 'has shifted quite drastically' in the last 10 days. The team initially feared a hip fracture, but tests revealed a unique soft-tissue glute injury. Further testing over the past week increased team optimism about a quick return. Macdonald indicated Darnold is 'possible' to play against Washington and said 'there's a chance that he comes back and practices at some point' this week, with a clearer picture expected by Wednesday when game planning begins. The team did not place him on injured reserve, preserving the option for a near-term return.
