Sam Darnold Ruled Out for Week 2 With Glute Injury, Avoids IR

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 2 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals due to a soft-tissue glute injury suffered in Week 1. Head coach Mike Macdonald confirmed Darnold will avoid injured reserve, with reports suggesting he could return in one to four weeks. Backup Drew Lock, who led a second-half comeback victory over New England by passing for 187 yards and a touchdown, will start in Darnold's place.
