Summary
Mike McDonald sharply scolded a Seahawks player during practice after the player got too close to — and touched — quarterback Sam Darnold.
The reprimand reflected a basic training-camp rule: quarterbacks are off-limits, with even minor contact drawing an immediate response from coaches.
The episode surfaced on the eve of NFL preseason Week 1, when teams are tightening practice discipline and trying to protect starters from unnecessary risk.
