Top Sam Darnold News

  • Seahawks' Sam Darnold: Expected back after Week 11 bye

    Darnold (quadriceps), who won't play this coming Sunday at Las Vegas, is expected to return in Week 12 at San Francisco on Sunday, Nov. 29 after a Week 11 bye, Gregg Bell of Sports Radio 93.3 KJR Seattle reports.

    Darnold is one week removed from suffering a quad injury and cracked ribs in a Week 8 loss to the Bears, which sidelined him Sunday against the Cardinals and will keep him in street clothes in Week 10. For as long as Darnold is sidelined, Drew Lock (oblique) is lined up to be the Seahawks' starting quarterback.

  • Seahawks' Sam Darnold: Not ready to return in Week 10

    Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said Monday that Darnold (quadriceps/ribs) won't be available for Sunday's game against the Raiders, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

    Meanwhile, Macdonald noted that the Seahawks got a "good exam" for Drew Lock, who is nursing an oblique injury but is expected to be able to play through the issue and make a second straight start in Week 10. With a bye on tap for the Seahawks in Week 11, Darnold will benefit from some extended time to recover from his injuries and will turn his focus toward returning to action Nov. 29 versus the 49ers.

  • Seahawks' Sam Darnold: Could miss Week 10

    Darnold (quadriceps) may miss Seattle's Week 10 game at Las Vegas, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Darnold already has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Cardinals, and the combination of the quadriceps injury and cracked ribs he suffered last Monday against the Bears is threatening to sideline him for multiple weeks. The Seahawks have a Week 11 bye on the schedule, so getting him healthy for the stretch run from late November through early January may sway the team's decision-making. As long as Darnold is out, Drew Lock (right elbow) will direct Seattle's offense.

  • Seahawks' Sam Darnold: Considered week-to-week

    Darnold (quadriceps), who has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, is considered week-to-week, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

    Head coach Mike Macdonald labeled Darnold week-to-week Wednesday while adding that Darnold isn't expected to be placed on injured reserve due to his injury. Backup Drew Lock missed the previous two games due to an elbow injury but has a chance to return Sunday against the Cardinals and take over the starting role. If Lock isn't ready to suit up, 2025 third-round pick Jalen Milroe could be tabbed for the first regular-season start of the latter's NFL career.

  • Seahawks' Sam Darnold: Won't play in Week 9

    Head coach Mike Macdonald announced that Darnold won't play Sunday against the Cardinals due to a quadriceps injury, NFL reporter Andrew Siciliano reports.

    In addition to a quad issue that Darnold sustained late in Monday's loss to the Bears, Macdonald revealed that the quarterback suffered a rib injury early in that contest. The pair of health concerns may have played a part in Darnold's subpar performance, which included 188 yards, two touchdowns and one interception on 17-for-34 passing and two carries for 20 yards. With Darnold out for the first time since Week 2, backup QB Drew Lock will draw the Week 9 start under center for the Seahawks.

  • Seahawks' Sam Darnold: Middling numbers in Week 8 loss

    Darnold completed 17 of 34 passes for 188 yards with two touchdowns and one interception while adding two rushes for 20 yards in the Seahawks' 34-17 loss to the Bears on Monday night.

    Darnold averaged just 5.5 yards per attempt and took three sacks from a Bears defense that made an impact addition in Jeffery Simmons on Thursday via trade with the Titans. Darnold's 50.0 percent completion rate was a season low for him in non-injury-shortened games, and the veteran signal-caller also threw an interception for the sixth consecutive contest. Darnold did toss multiple touchdowns for the first time since Week 4, connecting with Jaxon Smith-Njigba (43 yards) and Cooper Kupp (seven yards) for his pair of scoring strikes. Darnold will take an unsightly 10:9 TD:INT heading into a Week 9 home matchup against the Cardinals on Sunday.
