SEATTLE, Wash. — Just a day after giving an update on his health, Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold is off the injury list and ready to go.

According to Seahawks Head Coach Mike Macdonald, Darnold was a full participant at today’s practice, and he will play Sunday.

“Sam’s going to play and he’s ready to go,” Macdonald said. “He’s done a great job.”

Darnold will lead the undefeated Seahawks against the winless Washington Commanders this Sunday, Sept. 27.

Darnold suffered a glute injury week one, when the Seahawks faced the New England Patriots in a rematch of Super Bowl LX.

Backup quarterback Drew Lock filled in for the injured Darnold and led the Seahawks to victory over the Patriots, 13-10.

Kickoff for the Commanders game is set for 10 a.m. in Maryland.
