Injuries are already adding up just two games into the NFL season.

It is not even Sunday yet.

Sam Darnold played only five snaps.

A.J. Brown will miss time.

De’Zhaun Stribling was taken off the field on a cart.

Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald spoke on Thursday.

He said Darnold’s hip injury brought positive news.

He called it a muscle injury near the hip.

He said the team will know more about Darnold’s status for the Sept. 20 game against Arizona next week.

That is when practice starts again.

Drew Lock replaced Darnold.

He led Seattle to a 13-10 comeback win over New England on Wednesday night.

Macdonald said Lock has been tremendous.

He said Lock operates like a starter.

The Patriots will be without Brown for a while.

A person with knowledge of the injury spoke on Thursday night.

The person said Brown has a high-ankle sprain.

An MRI confirmed it.

Brown could miss three to six games.

It depends on how his ankle responds to treatment.

Without Brown, New England’s offense struggled.

The team went three-and-out twice.

Then Drake Maye threw three straight interceptions.

Maye said the team has to stick together.

He said he has to keep putting better football out there.

Stribling was San Francisco’s top draft pick in April.

He was picked at No. 33 overall.

He limped off after running a route in the second quarter.

This was during a 27-7 win over the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday night.

He left on a cart and was quickly ruled out.

The 49ers were counting on him.

They had already lost Ricky Pearsall for the season in the summer.
