Is Sam Darnold playing vs. the Commanders? Full injury update for Seahawks QB

Seattle Seahawks starting quarterback Sam Darnold is set to return for the Week 3 matchup against the Washington Commanders. Darnold played only five snaps in Week 1 before suffering an injury that sidelined him for Week 2, but he made a faster-than-expected recovery to rejoin the starting lineup.

Backup quarterback Drew Lock filled in during Darnold's absence, leading Seattle to victories over the New England Patriots and the Arizona Cardinals. Darnold returned to full practice participation ahead of the game, clearing the way for his Week 3 start despite questions regarding potential rustiness.
