    Seahawks' Sam Darnold: One TD, two turnovers in loss

    Sam Darnold completed 18 of 29 passes for 195 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in Sunday's 32-29 loss to the 49ers. He added one rushing attempt for five yards.Darnold threw another two interceptions, bringing him up to five in three full games this season after he had a league-worst 20 turnovers in the 2025 regular season. His lone touchdown pass was a 16-yarder to Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the third quarter, on which the star wide receiver did most of the work after the catch. Darnold is in no danger of losing the starting job ahead of Thursday's Week 6 home game against the Broncos considering he has earned a long leash coming off a Super Bowl title, but it's worth noting that backup Drew Lock completed 72.9 percent of his passes while playing turnover-free football to lead Seattle to a pair of wins while Darnold was sidelined by a glute injury earlier in the year.

    Seahawks' Sam Darnold: Tosses another two TDs

    Sam Darnold completed 13 of 22 passes for 168 yards, two touchdowns and one interception and rushed three times for six yards during Sunday's 30-23 victory against the Chargers.On a day in which the Seattle Seahawks rode the ground game to the tune of 33 carries, led by RB Emanuel Wilson's 21, Darnold didn't have to do much to keep the Chargers at bay. Darnold's two touchdown throws went for 23 (Wilson) and six yards (WR Tory Horton), bringing his total on the campaign to six in a little more than eight quarters of play. Darnold will be seeking to bounce back in terms of yardage, at least, next Sunday versus the 49ers.

    Seahawks' Sam Darnold: Tosses four TDs in return to lineup

    Sam Darnold completed 31 of 45 passes for 379 yards and four touchdowns with two interceptions in Sunday's 33-31 loss to the Commanders. He added five yards on his only carry.Making his return from a Week 1 soft-tissue injury, Darnold put up big numbers against a shaky Washington defense as he connected for two scores with Jaxon Smith-Njigba, and one each to Cooper Kupp and Eric Saubert. However, Darnold's two INTs both came in the second half and led directly to 14 points for the Commanders, including a 50-yard pick-six by third-string linebacker Kain Medrano that proved to be the game-winning score. Darnold will look to clean things up in a Week 4 home tilt against the Chargers.

    Seahawks' Sam Darnold: Returning to action Sunday

    Coach Mike Macdonald said Friday that Sam Darnold (glute) is "going to play" Sunday at Washington, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.Darnold thus will miss only seven-plus quarters after initial reports indicated that he could be out up to one month due to the right glute injury he picked up in the Seattle Seahawks' Week 1 victory against the Patriots. Considering he logged a full practice Thursday, he'll supplant Drew Lock in the starting lineup this weekend, looking to build upon his one completion on two pass attempts for 13 yards so far this season.

    Sam Darnold (glute) was a full practice participant Thursday, John Boyle of the Seattle Seahawks' official site reports.After returning to practice Wednesday as limited for the first time since suffering a right glute injury in the early stages of the Seahawks' Week 1 win against the Patriots, Darnold has experienced a quick trajectory in his recovery by handling every on-field rep one day later. Coach Mike Macdonald is expected to name a starting quarterback for Week 3 between Darnold and Drew Lock on Friday, so the overall situation may be resolved in short order. If Darnold gains clearance to return, he'll take over direction of the Seahawks offense Sunday at Washington.

    Seahawks' Sam Darnold: On 'good track' for Sunday, per coach

    Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said after Wednesday's practice that Sam Darnold (glute) is "on a good track" to play Sunday against the Commanders, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.After suffering a right glute strain early in the Seahawks' season-opening win over the Patriots, Darnold sat out the team's Week 2 win in Arizona, but that could end up being the extent of his absence. Darnold returned to practice Wednesday as a limited participant, splitting first-team reps with Drew Lock. Macdonald noted that Darnold's workload will be ramped up as the week progresses, and if the 29-year-old responds well to the added reps, he could get the green light to start Sunday in Washington. The Seahawks are likely to wait until after Friday's practice concludes before formally deciding on a Week 3 starter.

    Seahawks' Sam Darnold: Will practice Wednesday

    Sam Darnold (glute) will practice Wednesday, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.The Seattle Seahawks quarterback has been trending toward a quicker return than initially expected after coach Mike Macdonald said Sunday that Darnold was ahead of schedule in his recovery. With the QB set to get back on the practice field, he hasn't yet been ruled out for Week 3 against Washington. Darnold's level of practice participation during the week should provide more clarity on whether he's on track to return Sunday, or whether Drew Lock will be in line for another start.

    Seahawks' Sam Darnold: Ahead of schedule in recovery

    Sam Darnold (glute) is ahead of schedule in his recovery and has a chance to practice ahead of Seattle's Week 3 road game against the Commanders, head coach Mike Macdonald said after Sunday's 31-7 victory over the Cardinals, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.Macdonald added that "the timetable has shifted quite drastically" for Darnold's recovery. It sounds like Darnold has a chance to return as soon as next Sunday, though the Seattle Seahawks have little reason to rush his return with backup QB Drew Lock having led the team to a 2-0 record. Darnold's first step toward game action would be a return to practice, and his first chance to do so will come Wednesday.
