The former No. 3 overall pick is 4-2 through his first six games with the Seahawks, which is a positive sign for the team as it fights for a playoff spot. ESPN insider Brady Henderson praised Darnold for managing to move the ball downfield despite being in a run-heavy offense.

Richardson injured his eye while doing band work, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
