Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold was taken to the locker room following an injury during the team's NFL preseason opener against the New England Patriots on Wednesday. The injury occurred on the Seahawks' first offensive play of the game, when opposing defensive tackle Dre Mont Jones sacked Darnold, causing the quarterback to limp off the field.
Medical personnel first assessed Darnold on the sideline before he was escorted to the blue medical tent and eventually into the locker room. It was reported that Darnold had sustained a hip injury, and he has been listed as questionable to return for the remainder of the season. Backup quarterback Drew Lock took over for the Seahawks offense following Darnold's exit.
