NFL.com News on Sam Darnold

Darnold expected to miss Week 2 with hip injury; structural damage avoided.

Darnold exited Wednesday's Week 1 win over New England after five plays due to a hip injury sustained on a sack; he limped to the locker room in obvious discomfort. He is expected to miss Week 2 against Arizona. Coach Mike Macdonald reported the hip is intact and it's a muscle issue rather than structural damage; Darnold could miss just a few weeks and has avoided a lengthy absence. With 18 days between Week 1 and Week 3 (vs. Washington), a one- or two-week absence is possible.
