Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold was removed from Wednesday's season opener against the New England Patriots after suffering an injury on the opening drive. Drew Lock replaced him midway through the first quarter.

Darnold was sacked during Seattle's first possession, with Field Gulls reporting the sack came from former Seahawk Dre'Mont Jones on a coverage sack as Darnold attempted to escape the pocket. Most outlets described the injury as a hip injury, though Sportsnet's video report characterized it as an apparent ankle injury.

Per ESPN, Darnold is questionable to return. The nature and severity of the injury remain unclear based on available reporting.
