Sam Darnold sustains hip injury in Seattle Seahawks win against New England Patriots

Seattle Seahawks starting quarterback Sam Darnold left Wednesday's Week 1 game against the New England Patriots with a muscle-related hip injury after playing only a few snaps. Backup quarterback Drew Lock replaced Darnold and finished the game, completing 16-of-22 passes for 187 yards and one touchdown in the 13-10 victory. While the team avoided a long-term setback, initial assessments suggest Darnold will likely be unavailable for the Week 2 contest against the Arizona Cardinals. Lock is expected to start in his place for the upcoming game. The Seahawks face an Arizona team currently undergoing a roster rebuild led by quarterback Jacoby Brissett. Seattle previously swept its regular-season series against Arizona during the previous campaign.
