Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold exited Wednesday night's home opener against the New England Patriots after getting injured on a sack during the team's first drive.
After Darnold got taken to the ground, he left the field with a limp and soon went for a medical evaluation in the blue tent. Backup quarterback Drew Lock entered the game for Darnold, with the latter heading back to the locker room.
The team later said Darnold had a hip injury and was questionable to return.
This would obviously be a huge blow for the Seahawks if he was later ruled out. We'll keep you updated on what we hear.
