Sam Darnold Expected to Miss Week 2 With Unique Glute Injury

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold is dealing with a unique soft-tissue right glute injury that leaves his hip joint unaffected and will not require injured reserve. Sidelined after five plays in Week 1 against New England, Darnold is expected to miss the upcoming game against Arizona. Backup Drew Lock will start in his place, with Jalen Milroe moving up to the primary backup role while Darnold recovers from the short-term issue.
