Sam Darnold Injury Update: Lucky to Avoid Serious Hip Injury
The biggest concern following Wednesday night’s injury was the possibility of a fracture.
That concern has now been eliminated.
Seattle confirmed that initial imaging ruled out a fracture, and an MRI provided additional information about the injury. The Seahawks are now dealing with what appears to be a muscular injury rather than a major structural injury to Darnold’s hip.
That is enormous news for a quarterback who is coming off the best season of his NFL career and just helped lead Seattle to a Super Bowl championship.
Had Darnold suffered a significant fracture, his season could have been in serious jeopardy. Dr. Jesse Morse breaks it down.
