Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter): Seahawks QB Sam Darnold underwent an MRI on his hip this morning that team doctors still are reviewing to determine how much time he will miss. It is expected to be some, but for now the team believes it, as one source described, "dodged a bullet."
Darnold was ruled out of Wednesday's season-opening win over the New England Patriots after sustaining the hip injury, with X-rays and a CT scan ruling out a fracture. Drew Lock started in his place and Seattle rallied past the Patriots 13-10.
