Darnold cleared to start Week 3 after soft-tissue hip injury; favorable CT scan results.

Darnold suffered a glute and hip injury five snaps into Week 1 against New England but will return to start Week 3 against Washington after being a full participant in practice Thursday and Friday. The source describes the injury as a 'very unique, soft-tissue injury' to his hip; ESPN initially reported he could miss at least four weeks, but Darnold received 'good news' from doctors after a CT scan revealed the anatomy was favorable. Offensive coordinator Brian Fleury said Darnold looked 'great' in his return to the field.
