Jalen Milroe

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold is dealing with what the team described as a "very unique soft-tissue" injury that is not expected to sideline him long term.

The story said the Seahawks released a statement to local reporters Monday explaining that Darnold's hip joint is unaffected. The team called it a "short-term injury," but said there is no firm timeline for Darnold's return. The story added sources previously told ESPN's Adam Schefter and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport that Darnold is expected to at least miss Week 2 at the Arizona. Perhaps another sign the injury is short-term is the team hasn't brought in another QB, and it looks like Lock will start with Milroe as the backup if Darnold does have to miss Week 2.
