Sam Darnold Expected to Return to Practice Ahead of Week 3 Matchup

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold is expected to return to practice Wednesday after missing most of the first two games with a glute injury sustained in the season opener. Coach Mike Macdonald stated Darnold was ahead of schedule in his recovery, taking a key step toward potential Week 3 availability against Washington. Backup Drew Lock has filled in capably during a 2-0 start, completing 19 of 26 passes for 235 yards and three touchdowns in a Week 2 win over Arizona.
