Sam Darnold’s glute rehab may not hold him out for much longer.
Yahoo Sports · September 23, 2026

The Seahawks starter was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday, marking the first time since he went down with a glute injury in Week 1 that Darnold has practiced. Whether Darnold returns for Week 3 may not be a question of his health, but how careful the Seahawks want to be with him. The team has weathered the storm thanks to Drew Lock and is set to face an 0-2 Washington Commanders team that will be without their starting quarterback Jayden Daniels .
Both Darnold and rookie running back Jadarian Price, who is rehabbing a chest injury, were seen in full pads at the practice, giving positive indications that the Seahawks could have their backfield at full strength soon.
On the positive side of news, Nick Emmanwori was a full participant in practice. The Seahawks do-it-all safety returned in an extremely limited capacity in Week 2, playing only nine snaps and recording one tackle against the Arizona Cardinals .
