Seahawks prepare for Sam Darnold's potential return against Commanders

The Seattle Seahawks (2-0) are planning for quarterback Sam Darnold to practice this week, leading up to their game against the Washington Commanders (0-2) on Sunday. Coach Mike Macdonald indicated that Darnold, who has been sidelined since a glute injury in Week 1, could split first-team reps with Drew Lock during practice. Lock has excelled in Darnold's absence, throwing for four touchdowns without any turnovers in two games. The Commanders will also be without their starting quarterback, Jayden Daniels, who dislocated his elbow. Backup Marcus Mariota will start the matchup against a strong Seattle defense allowed only 17 points this season.
