What happened: Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald announced that quarterback Sam Darnold will practice on Wednesday. Macdonald noted that Darnold will not take every rep immediately, but the team plans to ramp up his workload as the week progresses.

Why it matters: Darnold's return is a welcome development for the Seahawks after he was ruled out of their recent matchup against the Cardinals due to a hip injury. Seattle sits at 2-0 following a 31-7 rout of Arizona, and integrating their quarterback back into the offense is critical to maintaining that early momentum.

What to watch: The Seahawks will monitor Darnold's response to the limited practice reps as they evaluate his status for the upcoming game.
