Darnold's glute injury is short-term with hip joint unaffected; better than feared fracture.

Seahawks confirmed Darnold sustained a 'very unique soft-tissue injury' to a glute muscle rather than his hip joint; the hip joint is unaffected. The injury is considered 'short-term' with no firm timeline for return, but the update is encouraging given initial fears of a fractured hip socket that could have ended his season. Tests ruled out fracture and revealed an unusual muscle strain in his hip area.
