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.

🔮 The same could happen this year in London, but Daniels has been able to practice after missing last weekend’s win over Seattle because of a dislocated elbow.
🔮 When the Ravens host Tennessee on Sunday, Henry will be on the opposite sideline, having left the Titans via free agency in 2024.
🔮 That timetable might be tricky for Washington management, because if Davis doesn’t want to stay with the team it could make sense to trade him for significant assets.
🔮 It’s certainly possible for Washington to stay afloat until Daniels returns, and Quinn said Monday the star quarterback will practice in some fashion this week.
🔮 You could see it in how the Baltimore Ravens reacted, pouring onto the field and following Loop toward one of the corners, where he performed a Cristiano Ronaldo-style celebration in soccer-crazy Brazil.
🔮 The Commanders will start Marcus Mariota this week.
🔮 With just a few days left in the regular season, the AL West might make a particularly mediocre kind of history.
🔮 In fact, Alonso might be the one who ends up leading the AL in homers and RBIs.
🔮 On Monday, coach Dan Quinn announced that Marcus Mariota will start at quarterback this weekend against Seattle.
🔮 “I feel like we will have a good shot with a lot of guys this week, which is encouraging,” Minter said.
