Could have four-week timeline

Darnold (glute) is "looking at about a four-week return to play" but could return "a little bit sooner than that," Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Reports on Darnold's return date have varied, but the latest one indicates he could miss a bit more time than initially anticipated. What's certain is he's dealing with what the Seahawks are calling a "very unique" soft-tissue injury, but one that is expected to lead to a long-term absence. Drew Lock should continue to start at quarterback for however long Darnold remains sidelined.
