Overview
- Darnold said his left oblique "feels really good" after Wednesday’s work, with coach Mike Macdonald calling him "in a great spot" as his throwing load increases.
- Seattle has listed Darnold as limited on every injury report since Jan. 15, a cautious approach that included him barely practicing before the NFC title game.
- Across two playoff wins, Darnold has completed 69.8% of his passes with four touchdowns and no interceptions, including 346 yards and three TDs in the NFC Championship.
- The former No. 3 pick signed a three-year deal worth about $100 million last March and is set to become the first quarterback from the 2018 draft class to start a Super Bowl.
- Rookie safety Nick Emmanwori injured his ankle in Wednesday’s practice, walked off under his own power, and is being evaluated after a limited designation.
