Seattle Seahawks consider signing Jimmy Garoppolo amid Sam Darnold injury

The Seattle Seahawks are evaluating quarterback options after starter Sam Darnold sustained a hip injury. Although medical evaluation confirmed no fracture, the team faces a potential recovery timeline that could force a change at the position. Current backup Drew Lock performed effectively in a recent 13-10 victory over the New England Patriots, but the organization is looking to bolster its depth. Retired quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, who last played for the Los Angeles Rams, has been identified as a potential candidate to join the roster. Garoppolo offers extensive experience, including previous stints with the San Francisco 49ers and New England Patriots. His knowledge of NFC West rivals and history as a veteran starter makes him a low-cost option for Seattle’s roster as they pursue a winning record this season.
