Darnold's Hip Scare: Cardinals Hopeful for Week 2 Advantage
10 Sep
Summary
- Seahawks QB San Darnold suffered a hip injury in the season opener.
- Doctors ruled out a fracture, but his Week 2 status is uncertain.
- Backup Drew Lock led a comeback win, impacting Cardinals' chances.
Seattle Seahawks starting quarterback San Darnold exited the season opener against the New England Patriots on Wednesday night with a hip injury. Although doctors have ruled out a fracture after X-rays and a CAT scan, the injury casts doubt on his availability for Week 2.
The Seahawks will face the Arizona Cardinals in their home opener next week, a game for which Darnold's status is now a major question mark. The Cardinals may see this as an opportunity to gain an edge.
However, backup quarterback Drew Lock demonstrated resilience, leading the Seahawks to a 13-10 comeback victory after falling behind 10-0. He threw for 187 yards and a touchdown against a highly-rated defense, a performance that suggests the Seahawks could still pose a significant challenge to the Cardinals, who are expected to struggle defensively.
Fans and teams will be closely monitoring the Seahawks' Week 2 injury report for updates on Darnold's condition.
