Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald provided an update on the team's quarterback situation, confirming that Sam Darnold is slated to return to the practice field on Wednesday. This marks a significant step in Darnold's recovery process as the team prepares for their next matchup.

While the return to practice is confirmed, Macdonald stopped short of guaranteeing Darnold's availability for the upcoming game against the Washington Commanders. During his press conference, Macdonald noted that "there is a chance" Darnold could play this weekend, though the final decision will likely depend on how he progresses through the week's training sessions. The team is currently monitoring his workload to ensure he is physically prepared for the demands of game-day competition.

This development comes as the Seahawks look to solidify their roster depth and offensive leadership. The coaching staff is expected to evaluate Darnold's performance during Wednesday's session before making a definitive call on his status for Sunday. No further details regarding the specific nature of his previous absence or the exact limitations he might face during practice were provided by the team at this time.
