Seahawks say Darnold to return to practice within weeks

The Seattle Seahawks announced that quarterback Sam Darnold is expected to return to practice within weeks and could be available for the team's Week 4 matchup. Darnold left Seattle's season-opening win over the New England Patriots after sustaining a hip injury on the first drive, and coach Mike Macdonald later confirmed doctors had ruled out a fracture while additional scans were ordered. Backup quarterback Drew Lock finished the game and led a comeback.

Subsequent medical evaluations identified the problem as a soft-tissue glute tendon strain, which the team described as short-term but without a firm timetable. The Seahawks said Darnold would miss the Week 2 contest against the Arizona Cardinals, kept his roster spot open, and considered adding another quarterback for depth.
