A sports doctor predicted a “realistic” return date for Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold as he works his way back from injury. The post Seahawks Sam Darnold Injury Update: Sports Doc Predicts ‘Realistic’ Return Date appeared first on HEAVY.
A sports medicine doctor has predicted that Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold could return to action in Week 5 if he undergoes stem-cell or platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy and completes a rigorous rehabilitation program. Darnold has suffered a right glute injury, not a labrum tear or fracture, according to sports doctor Jesse Morse.
The injury is a partial tear of the gluteus medius tendon at its attachment on the femur. While Morse initially thought Darnold might miss Weeks 2 and 3, the latest update suggests a possible return by Week 5 if Darnold follows the prescribed treatment and rehab plan. The team will rely on a backup until Darnold is fully cleared.
