Seahawks List Sam Darnold as Questionable With Oblique Ahead of 49ers Divisional Game

Seattle prepared contingency plans with Drew Lock after the late-week injury designation.

Overview

  • Darnold said he expects to play and put the chance of sitting at "close to zero."
  • He felt discomfort in his left oblique during Thursday's routes-on-air, left practice, and was listed as a limited participant.
  • Drew Lock took first-team snaps Thursday and would start if Darnold is unavailable, with rookie Jalen Milroe as the No. 3 option.
  • The final report ruled out only tackle Josh Jones with a knee injury, and all other Seahawks carried no game designation.
  • Seattle hosts San Francisco on Saturday after a first-round bye as the NFC's top seed, keeping Darnold's readiness under close watch before kickoff.
