Sam Darnold injury update: Seahawks QB exits early in Patriots game

Sam Darnold left Wednesday night's Pats game with an injury.

Quarterback Sam Darnold of the Seattle Seahawks left the team's home opener against the New England Patriots on Wednesday night due to an injury sustained during the opening drive. After Darnold was taken down, he departed the field with a visible limp and promptly underwent a medical examination in the medical tent. Backup quarterback Drew Lock took over the game for Darnold, while Darnold made his way back to the locker room.

The nature of Darnold's injury remains unclear, but it appears to be a lower body issue. This development would be a significant setback for the Seahawks. Updates on Darnold's condition and potential return are anticipated.
