Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold has a "very unique, soft tissue" glute
injury with no set timeline for his return, the team announced Monday.
The injury is believed to be short-term and Darnold's hip joint was unaffected,
the team said. He has not been placed on injured reserve.
It appears unlikely that Darnold will be able to play Sunday at the Arizona
Cardinals. He did not practice on Monday.
Darnold was injured on Seattle's first series against the New England Patriots
last week. He was sacked by Dre'Mont Jones and limped off the field.
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.
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 as
Seattle won a franchise-record 14 games.
