Sam Darnold said his sprained right shoulder is feeling much better and that no decision has been made about his status for this week.

Darnold definitely wants to play Sunday against the Cardinals. But he said there still needs to be discussions with the doctors about whether he can do more damage if he doesn’t sit out.

"It really does depend on what the doctors say and what they think can happen in the future in terms of further injury," Darnold said on a Zoom call Monday.
