- Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold is listed questionable with an oblique injury, and coach Mike Macdonald said he is really optimistic Darnold will play with Drew Lock available if needed.
- San Francisco travels without tight end George Kittle after his torn Achilles in the Wild Card win, as the team manages multiple injuries to key contributors.
