Sam Darnold played the entire second half of the season, from the Jags game on, with torn ligaments in his left thumb. While this might not have impacted his throwing much, it came with much pain, and it did impact his ball handling.
That we knew very little about this until now is a testament to Darnold himself and his toughness. It's also good that this had not really leaked, at least not the severity of the injury.
