The Seahawks were dealt some concerning news on Sam Darnold's potential return. The post Seahawks Get Troubling Sam Darnold Timeline After New Injury Diagnosis appeared first on HEAVY.
On the opening day of the 2026 NFL regular season, Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold suffered an injury that has raised concerns over his return. Multiple NFL insiders have weighed in on Darnold's injury and projected timeline for recovery. Initially, reports indicated Darnold had suffered a hip injury, but Fox Sports' Jay Glazer clarified that it was a glute injury, not a hip fracture as initially feared.
However, Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio painted a darker picture, suggesting that Darnold could be sidelined for a period ranging from four to six weeks. Despite the uncertainty, the Seahawks chose to be cautious, as they still have a competitive team that can succeed without their starting quarterback, as evidenced by their victory on September 13, 2026.
