Alright, 12s, get this: Sam Darnold, our quarterback, might be back under center way sooner than any of us expected. After he went down with that glute injury near his hip in the season opener against the New England Patriots, everyone was bracing for the worst, honestly, thinking he was headed for injured reserve. But nope, that’s not the case at all.
Jay Glazer Drops a Bomb of Good News
Jay Glazer, on “FOX NFL Sunday,” just spilled the tea, and it’s all good news for the Emerald City. Our team doctors got a much better look at Darnold’s injury and his progress, and their opinions were way better than anyone initially thought. Glazer even quoted them saying, “Those opinions actually were much better than what they thought they were. They actually showed that Sam Darnold isn’t as injured as they originally thought, to the point that they’re optimistic that he’s going to return much sooner rather than later.” That means he’s not hitting the IR, and we could see him back in the next game or two!
Lock Steps Up for the Cards Game
While we wait for Darnold to heal up, backup Drew Lock gets the start this Sunday afternoon against the Arizona Cardinals. Lock already showed us what he’s made of, coming off the bench against the Patriots and rallying the team to overcome a 10-point second-half deficit. That was some serious heart! With the talent we’ve got on offense, it looks like we’re still in good hands for now, whether it’s Lock slinging it or Darnold making his speedy return. We are PUMPED to see what Lock can do against the Cardinals, but knowing Darnold is on the fast track back? That’s just electric!
