Sam Darnold Health, Injury Updates & History

Darnold has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Cardinals as he continues recovering fro...

Darnold is dealing with what the Seahawks described as a unique soft-tissue injury in his glute, testing confirmed his hip joint is unaffected and the injury is considered short term, though there is currently no firm timetable for the quarterback's return

Seahawks HC Mike Macdonald said the team got "great news back" on Sam Darnold and doctors do not believe his quarterback’s hip is fractured, an MRI is scheduled for Thursday, the hope is to rule out a bone bruise (microscopic fracture) and labral tear, best case is he can avoid IR

Sam Darnold exited in the first quarter to the locker room with what the team is listing as a hip injury, hopefully X-rays will be negative for posterior wall acetabular fracture. Questionable officially he is listed as questionable to return

Carries no injury designation ahead of the NFC Championship this Sunday, Darnold was limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday, as he continues to manage an oblique injury that occurred in practice last Thursday, but he'll be available to face the Rams on Sunday

Sam Darnold was a surprise addition to the injury report, listed as limited and questionable with a left, non-throwing-side oblique injury that reportedly occurred during practice, there is little indication it will keep him out, the non-throwing oblique is involved in torso rotation and throwing mechanics, the injury happened while throwing against air, which makes a serious issue less likely, and Darnold has said he expects to play, the questionable designation is likely procedural and precautionary given playoff reporting rules and potential fines, rather than a sign of true concern, leaving his availability for this weekend with a very low worry level.

Was a full participant in practice on Friday, he had been dealing with a hand injury but with the full practice on Friday, he has no injury designation headed into W11

Will undergo an MRI on his left knee after a low hit from Houston's Danielle Hunter. Only missed one play and continued to be effective, we expect he will play in week 4 against the Packers

The QB lost his job due to an early season ankle issue but is now healthy with his job back
