Darnold returns to action
Sam Darnold returns from injury to start for Seahawks against Commanders
Anonymous
Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold has recovered from a glute injury and is set to start Sunday against the Washington Commanders after returning to full practice. Drew Lock, who guided Seattle to a 2-0 start while Darnold was sidelined, will return to the bench. The Seahawks will be without starting safeties Julian Love and Ty Okada, with AJ Finley and Rodney Thomas II expected to fill in. Washington is also missing its starting quarterback, Jayden Daniels, and is expected to start Marcus Mariota; the news has helped make Seattle a 7.5-point favorite.
