Sam Darnold is set to return as the Seattle Seahawks’ starting quarterback when they face the Washington Commanders on Sunday. The quarterback has been cleared to play after being removed from the team’s injury report.
Darnold missed Seattle’s Week 2 matchup while dealing with a glute injury. His absence opened the door for Drew Lock to take over under center, and the backup quarterback provided a solid performance in Darnold’s place.
With Darnold now healthy enough to return, Seattle will hand the offense back to its regular starter. His availability provides the Seahawks with an important boost heading into their upcoming matchup with Washington.
The return also brings Darnold back into the starting role for the reigning Super Bowl champions. Seattle will hope his presence can help the team maintain its offensive momentum as the regular season continues.
Lock’s performance during Darnold’s absence gave the Seahawks a dependable option at quarterback, but Darnold’s return means the team will once again rely on him to lead the offense against the Commanders.
