Seahawks QB Sam Darnold Suffers Hip Injury, Ruled Out Early in NFL Season

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold suffered a hip injury just five snaps into the new NFL season, forcing him to leave the game. Darnold was sacked by New England Patriots linebacker Dre'Mont Jones and appeared to land awkwardly on his side. He limped to the locker room after being evaluated by the Seahawks' medical team. Drew Lock took over at quarterback for Seattle, with Darnold's status now questionable to return. Darnold is a key player for the Seahawks, who lifted another Super Bowl banner on Wednesday night, and his injury has raised concerns about his potential absence from the team.
