Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold is scheduled to rejoin practice Wednesday after missing the first two games with a glute injury, coach Mike Macdonald said Monday. Macdonald indicated Darnold could play this week against the Washington Commanders, noting the rookie’s progress is ahead of schedule. Backup Drew Lock has filled in effectively, completing 73% of passes with four touchdowns and a 86.4 Total QBR, but Macdonald emphasized that if Darnold is cleared, he will start.

In other injury updates, rookie running back Jadarian Price left Sunday’s win over Arizona with a shoulder issue that appears non‑serious, while co‑starter Zach Charbonnet remains on the PUP list with a 21‑day practice window potentially opening Wednesday.
