Sam Darnold Ruled Out for Week 2 With Hip Muscle Strain

Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold has been ruled out for Week 2 due to an unusual hip muscle strain. Head coach Mike Macdonald confirmed the injury is not as severe as initially feared, and there is currently no consideration for injured reserve. Backup Drew Lock will lead the offense while Darnold seeks further medical opinions. Lock previously stepped in effectively after Darnold's injury occurred during the season opener.
