Seahawks List Sam Darnold Questionable With Oblique Injury Two Days Before 49ers Playoff Game

After reporting oblique discomfort in Thursday’s practice, the Pro Bowl quarterback expressed confidence he will be ready.

Overview

  • Seattle added Sam Darnold to the injury report as questionable for Saturday’s NFC Divisional Round against San Francisco after an oblique issue surfaced late in the week.
  • Darnold said he felt something during the routes-on-air period, stopped practicing for rehab, and put his chances of not playing at a “very low” number “closer to zero.”
  • Backup Drew Lock took first-team snaps Thursday and is the next man up if Darnold cannot go, with rookie Jalen Milroe as the third option.
  • The only Seahawks player ruled out is offensive tackle Josh Jones (knee), with the rest of the roster currently cleared to play.
  • Darnold started all season and earned a Pro Bowl nod with 4,048 passing yards, 25 touchdowns and 14 interceptions, and his final status will be confirmed in the pregame window.
