Seahawks Hopeful for Sam Darnold's Quick Return

Sam Darnold's performance in the Seattle Seahawks' season opener was limited to two pass attempts for 13 yards before he sustained an injury. Despite this setback, the Seahawks are hopeful for his swift recovery, as reported by ESPN.

Darnold has already been ruled out for the upcoming Week 2 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. However, the team has not placed him on injured reserve, indicating their belief that his injury may not be as severe as initially feared. In his absence, Drew Lock will take over as the starting quarterback.

Last season, Darnold had a standout year, leading the Seahawks to their second championship in Super Bowl LX. He threw for over 4,000 yards and 25 touchdowns, showcasing his revival after a challenging start to his career. At 29, Darnold has accumulated 20,444 passing yards and 123 touchdowns over nine seasons.
