SEATTLE (AP) --- Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold's hip injury appears
to be muscle-related, and his status for next week's game at Arizona is as yet
undetermined, coach Mike Macdonald said Thursday.
Darnold was injured on Seattle's first series of Wednesday night's
season-opening game against the New England Patriots. Darnold was sacked by New
England's Dre'Mont Jones and shortly thereafter limped off the field. He did
not return.
Backup Drew Lock replaced him and went 16 of 22 for 187 yards and a touchdown
as the Seahawks rallied for a 13-10 victory.
Following the game, Macdonald said Darnold's hip was not fractured, but said he
would undergo additional tests.
The coach updated Darnold's injury on a local Seattle radio show on Thursday.
But he did not reveal whether he'd be ready for Seattle's game at Arizona on
Sept. 20.
"The hip is intact, and it's good," Macdonald said. "It's more like a muscle
thing. So that's good. So how long that is? We don't know yet."
Darnold, 29, did not miss a game last season as he led the Seahawks to a Super
Bowl title. He threw for 4,048 yards with 25 touchdowns and 14 interceptions in
the regular season as Seattle won a franchise-record 14 games.
