Our guy Sam Darnold, who got sidelined with a hip injury back in Week 1, might actually be back for Week 3. He talked to reporters on Thursday, and the vibe is all about getting back on that field for Sunday’s game against the Commanders. This is huge, especially after watching him miss our dominant 31-7 win over the Arizona Cardinals in Week 2.
Sam’s Hustle To Get Back
Darnold ain’t just sitting around. He told the media he’s “really striving” to return, even though he’s taking it “day by day” and doesn’t “want to jinx anything.” We get it, Sam! He also confirmed he had a solid practice this week, which has him believing he’ll get that green light from the docs. “Feeling good,” he said. “Taking it day by day, just balancing the reps and doing what I need to be ready.” You can feel the hunger to play in those words, right?
2-0 Is Cool, But Sam Misses The Action
While Darnold was out, backup quarterback Drew Lock stepped up big, and Darnold gave him major props for the “good job he’s done.” Our Seahawks are sitting pretty at 2-0 for the season! But let’s be real, watching from the sideline is tough for any competitor. Darnold admitted he “missed playing a ton” and it was “good to get back on the practice field this week and get out there.” Now, the big unknown: medical clearance. That’s the last hurdle for Sam and for the 12s.
So, Sunday, we face the Commanders. The team is rolling at 2-0, and the energy around Darnold’s potential return is absolutely electric. We’re all just waiting on that final word, hoping our QB gets cleared and can lead us to a 3-0 start. Let’s go, Seahawks!
