Seahawks Expect Sam Darnold to Play vs. Rams as QB Throws in Limited Practice

Seattle is managing his oblique with reduced reps to preserve him for the NFC title game.

Overview

  • Darnold was seen throwing at Thursday’s session after sitting out throwing late last week, and team reports indicate he is expected to face Los Angeles.
  • Head coach Mike Macdonald said Darnold feels better than he did before the 49ers game and confirmed the plan to keep him out of a full workload while getting in some pregame throws.
  • Darnold said he remains sore and is focused on rehab as he prepares for Sunday.
  • Seattle leaned on the ground game in the divisional win as Kenneth Walker III ran for 116 yards and three touchdowns, easing passing demands.
  • Darnold’s season has been productive overall, yet he struggled against the Rams this year with a 62.4 passer rating and six interceptions, a hurdle former Seahawk Richard Sherman highlighted.
