Injury Status: Out
Injury: Quadriceps
by Keith Hernandez
Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said the team thinks that quarterback Sam Darnold (quadriceps, ribs) will be able to play coming out of their bye in Week 11 to start on Nov. 29 at the division-rival San Francisco 49ers, according to Gregg Bell. Macdonald said that Darnold's quad injury just needs more time to heal right now. Despite suffering a new oblique injury (in addition to right-elbow tendinitis), Drew Lock will start this Sunday at the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 10. The 29-year-old Darnold injured his quad and suffered a few cracked ribs in the Week 8 loss to the Chicago Bears last Monday night, and he will end up missing two straight games before hopefully returning for a crucial divisional battle in Week 12. Darnold led the Seahawks to a Super Bowl championship last year in his first season with the team, but things have not gone as well for him in the first half of 2026, as the two-time Pro Bowler has nearly as many interceptions (nine) as touchdown passes (10) in his seven starts. He is floating around on the waiver wire in many single-QB leagues, and an upcoming matchup against San Francisco in Week 12 (if he is cleared to return) will not be a good time to use him while coming off multiple injuries.

Sam Darnold 2026 Fantasy Football Outlook: Now a Super Bowl Champion, Darnold Looks to Clean Up His Mistakes

The Seattle Seahawks took a chance on Sam Darnold after the Minnesota Vikings told him "no thanks" after 36 total touchdowns in 2024. That decision was one of the biggest reasons Seattle hoisted the Lombardi Trophy in February, as Sam Darnold played an entire postseason without a turnover and led his team to a massive win over the New England Patriots for the title. However, in the regular season, Darnold had 20 total turnovers and threw 10 fewer touchdowns than his excellent 2024 season. He will look to clean that up as the offense is likely to skew more pass-friendly with the departure of Kenneth Walker III and the emergence of Jaxson Smith-Njigba. Last season, Darnold threw for the highest yards per attempt of his career (8.5 yards), so what he might sacrifice in yards will likely be gained back with better efficiency and fewer touchdowns. Darnold is currently being drafted as the QB22 overall, but there is a strong case to be made that Darnold could creep into the top-12 before 2026 is over.less...
