Seahawks' Sam Darnold: Could practice this week
Darnold (glute), who has been ruled out for Sunday's game in Arizona, is "recovering faster than anyone had anticipated" and has a "pretty good chance" of practicing at some point during Week 3, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Drew Lock will get the starting nod for Seattle in Week 2 while Darnold tends to the right glute injury he sustained in the Sept. 9 season-opening win over the Patriots, but Darnold looks like he'll be back under center for the Seahawks sooner rather than later. Rapoport relays it might be "a little bit of a stretch" for Darnold to play Week 3 against the Commanders, but the 29-year-old's outlook could change depending on how extensively he's able to practice leading up to that contest. At this time, the Seahawks' Week 4 matchup with the Chargers appears to be a likelier target for Darnold's return to the lineup.

Seahawks' Sam Darnold: Ahead of schedule in recovery
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 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.

Seahawks' Sam Darnold: Won't play in Week 2
Coach Mike Macdonald said Darnold (glute) won't play in Sunday's game at Arizona, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.
Darnold lasted just five plays into the Seahawks' Super Bowl defense before leaving last Wednesday's Week 1 matchup with the Patriots due to what was initially described as a hip injury. After a series of updates since then, Darnold is believed to be tending to a "very unique" glute injury that is accompanied by a recovery timetable of four weeks, per Mike Garafolo of NFL Network. For as long as Darnold is sidelined, Drew Lock will direct Seattle's offense.

Seahawks' Sam Darnold: Could have four-week timeline
Darnold (glute) is "looking at about a four-week return to play" but could return "a little bit sooner than that," Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Reports on Darnold's return date have varied, but the latest one indicates he could miss a bit more time than initially anticipated. What's certain is he's dealing with what the Seahawks are calling a "very unique" soft-tissue injury, but one that is expected to lead to a long-term absence. Drew Lock should continue to start at quarterback for however long Darnold remains sidelined.

Seahawks' Sam Darnold: Expected back after short absence
Darnold (glute) is dealing with a "very unique" soft-tissue injury, but his hip joint is unaffected, and the issue is considered short term, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
Darnold appears to be dealing with a less serious issue than initially feared, as the injury isn't structural and isn't to his hip. The veteran QB still doesn't have a firm return timeline, but the latest update supports the expectation that his absence should be brief. While Darnold is out, Drew Lock is expected to direct Seattle's offense.

Seahawks' Sam Darnold: Dealing with glute injury
Darnold is nursing a glute injury rather than a hip issue and is expected to miss next Sunday's game against the Cardinals, but he could return to action Week 3 versus the Commanders, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Darnold played just five snaps in Wednesday's 13-10 win over the Patriots before being removed from the game due to an apparent right hip injury. The Seahawks sent the quarterback in for an MRI and CT scan, and while an exact diagnosis of his injury wasn't provided by the team, head coach Mike Macdonald relayed that Darnold received favorable news from his medical tests. Drew Lock appears poised to start Week 2 while Darnold receives additional time to heal from the glute injury, but the Seahawks haven't closed the door on Darnold being ready to go for Week 3.

Seahawks' Sam Darnold: Receives good news on hip injury
Darnold (hip) received "really, really good news" regarding his injury, according to coach Mike McDonald, ESPN.com reports. "His hip is intact, and it's good," McDonald said Thursday.
Darnold underwent testing for his hip injury suffered in the season opener, including an initial CT scan followed by an MRI. The results are encouraging, as Darnold is believed to have "dodged a bullet" and is only expected to miss minimal time. An appearance for Darnold in Week 2 does not look likely at this stage, but the Week 3 game against the Commanders on Sunday, Sept. 27 is an optimistic but possible return date. Per Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com, Darnold is primarily dealing with hip soreness.

Seahawks' Sam Darnold: Dodges bullet but could miss time
Darnold (hip) is expected to miss some time due to the hip injury he sustained in Wednesday's 13-10 win over the Patriots, but the Seahawks believe their starting quarterback has "dodged a bullet," Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Team doctors are still reviewing the results of the MRI that Darnold underwent on his injury Thursday morning, but the early results suggest Darnold isn't facing a long-term absence. Drew Lock looks likely to be tabbed as the starting quarterback for the team's Week 2 road game against the Cardinals on Sunday, Sept. 20. Lock threw for 187 yards and a touchdown following Darnold's first-quarter exit in Wednesday's season-opening win.
