Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold is dealing with a glute injury rather than a hip injury, according to NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport.

Darnold was forced to leave the season opener against the New England Patriots after just five snaps following a sack. While initial reports suggested a hip ailment, the updated diagnosis specifies the injury is to his glute. Drew Lock substituted for Darnold during the game, which the Seahawks eventually won 13-10.
