Where he fits
Sam Darnold plays for the SEA as a QB, wearing number 14. He's in year 9 of his career.
His job: The team's own depth chart lists him first at quarterback — that's the order they'd normally use.
Last time out: Sam had 1 of 2 passes for 13 yards. He scored NO touchdowns and threw none. He was only on the field for about 10% of the offensive plays, so he is a situational piece right now.
This season: Sam had 1 of 2 passes for 13 yards. He scored NO touchdowns and threw none.
He isn't on the official week 2 injury report — no designation was filed for him.
