Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold faces time on sidelines with injury

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold is expected to miss time following an injury sustained during Wednesday's season opener. The injury occurred on the fifth play from scrimmage when Darnold was sacked, forcing him to leave the game with a visible limp. He underwent medical evaluations on the sideline and in the locker room before being transported to a hospital for a CT scan. Head coach Mike Macdonald stated postgame that the player did not suffer a fracture, and the team believes they avoided a more severe outcome. An MRI conducted on Thursday morning remains under review by team staff. Drew Lock replaced Darnold during the game to help lead the team to a win, while Jalen Milroe remains available on the active roster. The Seahawks are scheduled to face the Cardinals in Week 2.
