Negative signalInjury

Darnold hip injury early; Seahawks' margin for error shrinks.

Sam Darnold left early with a hip injury on the fifth play of the game, forcing Drew Lock into action. The Seahawks' margin for error is significantly smaller without Darnold, the 2025 MVP runner-up. If Darnold misses minimal time, the Seahawks can win the next two games with Drew Lock, but anything beyond that gets dicier with the Los Angeles Chargers, San Francisco 49ers, and Denver Broncos on the horizon.
