What happened: Seattle Seahawks starting quarterback Sam Darnold is on track to return to the lineup this Sunday, per RapSheet. The news arrives just a couple of weeks after Darnold suffered what initially appeared to be a serious injury.

Why it matters: Darnold received initial good news on his hip shortly after the injury but still missed Seattle's recent matchup. His impending return restores the team's starting signal-caller ahead of a contest against the Commanders.

By the numbers: Seattle sits at 2-0 on the season following a 31-7 rout of the Cardinals.

What to watch: Watch for the team's official practice participation reports this week to verify his status.
