Darnold Injury Update and Lock Shines | Seattle Seahawks News

Sam Darnold went down early in the Seahawks’ season opener against the Patriots with a hip injury, but thankfully no fracture was detected — avoiding the worst-case scenario. Backup Drew Lock stepped in and delivered a surprisingly strong performance, throwing for 187 yards and a touchdown while outplaying the Patriots’ MVP-caliber QB. The defense also shined with two crucial interceptions. With Darnold’s status uncertain for Week 2, Lock is likely to start again as the Seahawks head on the road to face the Cardinals — and may bring in a third-string QB for depth.
