Darnold spent the night at the hospital after the opener. The team said "good news." The good news is a "muscle strain." The bad news is he's a Seahawks quarterback, and their good news has a way of becoming a Drew Lock start.

Drew Lock was 16 of 22 with a touchdown and a 113 rating. He's been on four teams and been cut by two. Wednesday he beat the team the Seahawks beat in the Super Bowl. He'll be the starter until Darnold's hip heals or Seattle finds someone cheaper, whichever comes first.

Darnold's hip was CT-scanned, MRI'd, and ruled "not fractured." The Seahawks called it "good news." In Seattle, good news is when your $100 million quarterback can still sit.
