Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold has remained active in all games since developing an oblique injury before the divisional playoff round, and there are no indications this issue will hinder him as the team prepares for Super Bowl LX. The injury has not affected his on-field performance or availability as the Seahawks advance.
Coach Provides Update on Darnold’s Practice Status
Last week, Darnold was limited in practice, prompting questions about his readiness during head coach Mike Macdonald’s Wednesday press conference. While Macdonald did not specify the amount of practice participation planned for Darnold that day, his remarks suggested confidence in the quarterback’s condition and progress.
“It’s definitely gradually increasing by the day. Some days more than others, but he’s in a great spot. Know he’s really confident, we’ll see how today plays out. Not entirely sure how many throws or what percentage of throws.”
– Mike Macdonald, Head Coach
Outlook for Sunday’s Game and Team Preparedness
The Seahawks’ official injury report will clarify Darnold’s full practice involvement, but based on current information, there is little reason to doubt his availability for the upcoming Super Bowl. Any significant changes in his condition would be necessary to cast doubt on his participation for Sunday’s matchup, which the team and fans hope to avoid.
