Sam Darnold could be out for as many as six weeks after suffering a soft-tissue glute injury in the Seahawks’ Week 1 win over the New England Patriots. This is a gut punch to start the season, for real.
This Ain’t Your Regular Strain
According to Albert Breer of SI.com, Darnold’s injury is “unique” to both the glute tendon and the hip joint. That’s the crazy part, right? Because it’s so specific, the team itself is completely uncertain about his return. It’s not just a standard pull, it’s something different, and that’s why we’re all left scratching our heads.
Six Weeks Out? Early Season Trouble
One estimate floating around puts Darnold’s recovery at three to six weeks. But honestly, the Seahawks front office doesn’t have any firm timetable at all. This is a real blow to our early season momentum, Emerald City. We just won Week 1, and now we’re holding our breath for our QB.
What a start to the year. We’re left waiting for updates on Darnold’s health and hoping for a speedy recovery. We need our quarterback out there leading the charge!
