"It's not a painful injury. You know, I've had the injury. It's not a painful injury. It's just a little bit more like the muscle that needs to fire quickly, doesn't work necessarily. But from my experience, it gets better as the game goes on. Sam's played with it for a couple weeks now, and he's looked pretty good, you know, a little measured but pretty good," Hasselbeck told Fox News Digital in a recent interview with the Family Heart Foundation.
Darnold has played well in both of his playoff appearances. In the Seahawks' 41-6 blowout win over the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Divisional Round, he completed 12 of 17 passes for 124 yards and one touchdown.
Against the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC Championship Game, Darnold had one of the best games
