Darnold’s Hip Injury Raises Alarm | Seattle Seahawks News

0:00It's September 10th. This is Seattle Seahawks News today, AI-powered stories from Inside Your Team. Yo, so the Seahawks kicked off their season with big dreams, but things went south real fast. On just the fifth play, Sam Donald went down with a hip injury. It looked bad from the jump, and now we're hearing some serious concerns about how long he might be out. According to former NFL team Dr. David J. Chow, there's a real worry that Donald could have a posterior wall acetabular fracture. He's saying the worry meter is high, based on the way the injury happened, with the force going right into the back of his hip socket. This kind of injury can be rough. We saw something similar with two ataggle viola in college, and that kept them out for over three months. If Donald's situation is anything like that, it could mean he's done for the entire season, which would be a massive blow to Seattle's title defense. Now the team did say they got some great news back, and don't believe the hip is fractured, but Donald is still getting an MRI.

1:02So while they're hoping it's not as serious as it initially looked, the concern is definitely still there for a potentially long-term absence. For now, the Seahawks have to figure out how to win without their starting quarterback. It's a tough spot to be in, especially when you're trying to go all the way. We'll have to wait and see what that MRI reveals.
