What happened: Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold returns from a hip injury to face Washington this weekend. The team fully cleared him for action.

Why it matters: Darnold avoided a fracture after undergoing an MRI on September 10. His accelerated timeline stabilizes the Seattle offense, following a week where he was slated to practice.

What to watch: Darnold will test his hip mobility in live game action.
