Mike Macdonald shares plan for quarterback Sam Darnold after returning to Seahawks practice

Sam Darnold, the starting quarterback for the Seattle Seahawks, is expected to return to practice on Wednesday after recovering from a glute injury he sustained during the team's season opener. Head coach Mike Macdonald has stated that Darnold will engage in practice activities, with his workload anticipated to increase throughout the week.

Darnold missed Seattle's 31-7 victory over the Arizona Cardinals in Week 2 due to the injury, which kept him from the field. The Seahawks have been without Darnold, relying on backup Drew Lock, who has delivered solid performances with 422 passing yards, four touchdowns, and no interceptions in their last two games. Despite Lock's contributions, Macdonald has made it clear that Darnold's return to the starting lineup will occur once he is fully healthy.
