QB Sam Darnold to return for the Seahawks against the Commanders following glute injury
Sam Darnold will return to play for the Seattle Seahawks against the Washington Commanders on Sunday. The quarterback was sidelined last week due to a glute injury he sustained during the season opener. Darnold, who led the Seahawks to a Super Bowl victory last year, was ruled out of action following an MRI after initially being suspected of a hip injury.
Coach Mike Macdonald expressed confidence in Darnold's return, stating that he is "ready to go and has done a great job." Darnold's backup, Drew Lock, started last Sunday's 31-7 win against Arizona. Love, the Seahawks' safety, will miss Sunday's game due to a tight calf that tightened up during practice. AJ Finley, a safety who was previously cut from the team, has been recalled to the 53-man active roster ahead of the game.
