Coach Mike Macdonald confirmed Darnold's readiness, praising his recovery as "a medical miracle." While backup Drew Lock performed well during Darnold’s absence, contributing to Seattle’s 2-0 start, the team remains confident with their starting quarterback back on the field.

Story summary
Sam Darnold, the quarterback for the Seattle Seahawks, is expected to return from a glute injury in time to play against the Washington Commanders on Sunday after missing one game. Coach Mike Macdonald confirmed that Darnold will start despite initially being injured during Seattle’s season-opening victory over the New England Patriots. In his absence, backup quarterback Drew Lock led the Seahawks to two wins. Meanwhile, the Commanders are struggling with their own injuries; star quarterback Jayden Daniels is out after suffering a dislocated elbow against the Dallas Cowboys, leaving Marcus Mariota as their starter for the home opener. Despite these challenges, Washington managed to secure a surprising victory over Seattle in Week 3, largely due to three critical turnovers by the Seahawks and a strong performance from Mariota. The game ended with the Washington Commanders defeating the Seattle Seahawks by a score of 33-31.
