Seahawks quarterback San Darnold avoids fracture after hip injury in opener

Seattle Seahawks starting quarterback San Darnold exited Wednesday night's game against the New England Patriots after the opening possession due to a hip injury. Medical testing, including X-rays and a CAT scan, ruled out a fracture, though his status for the Week 2 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals remains uncertain. Backup quarterback Drew Lock replaced Darnold in the season opener, leading the Seahawks to a 13-10 victory after overcoming a 10-point deficit. Lock finished the game 16-of-22 passing for 187 yards and one touchdown. The team has entered a period of rest for the remainder of the week. Official updates on the availability of Darnold for the upcoming game at State Farm Stadium are expected to be released via the Seahawks' injury report.
