What happened: Sam Darnold underwent a hip MRI Thursday morning, and Seahawks doctors are reviewing it to determine how much time he will miss. The team expects him to miss some time, according to Adam Schefter.

Why it matters: Seattle believes it “dodged a bullet,” tempering concern while leaving the quarterback position unsettled. The Seahawks may need a replacement for their next game.

By the numbers: Seattle is 1-0 after a 13-10 season-opening win.

What to watch: The medical review should clarify Darnold's timetable. Seattle's next quarterback plan will follow that determination.
