Sam Darnold News
Sunday, September 13, 5:34 PM
According to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk, Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold (glute) could miss four to six weeks due to a glute tendon injury. Florio notes that surgery is not anticipated for Darnold, but that the Seahawks will be cautious with their quarterback. Darnold suffered the injury early on in Seattle's 2026 debut, a 13-10 win over the New England Patriots on Wednesday. The injury was initially feared to be Darnold's hip. Darnold is not expected to be placed on the reserved/injured list as of press time. Drew Lock will operate as Seattle's starting quarterback while Darnold is out.

Jaxson Dart News
Monday, September 14, 6:14 AM
New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart completed 23 of 29 passes for 230 yards and three touchdowns, and added 54 yards on 11 carries in the 28-20 victory over the Dallas Cowboys. Despite concerns about Dallas' improved defense and the Giants' run-heavy offense, Dart was surgical in Week 1. Dart ranks second in the NFL in completion percentage (79.3%), second in passer rating (134.2), and second among quarterbacks in rushing yards through Week 1. With Malik Nabers (knee) active and tight end Isaiah Likely producing elite numbers in Week 1, Dart has the best supporting cast of his career and is maintaining an elite rushing floor. Moving forward, Dart is a mid-tier QB1 and appears to be a breakout candidate to watch this season.
