Quarterback Sam Darnold's availability remains up in the air for the Seattle Seahawks in Saturday's NFC divisional round game against the visiting San Francisco 49ers.
ESPN reported that Darnold has yet to throw a football since he sustained an oblique injury on Thursday. He was added to the injury report that day and is listed as questionable for the game.
Per ESPN, the Seahawks believe Darnold will be able to play on Saturday night.
'Just didn't want to push it,' Darnold said on Thursday. 'Wasn't the day to push it. So that was it. Just came inside, got some rehab, and I feel like I'll be ready to go for Saturday.'
Drew Lock, who took reps in practice, and rookie Jalen Milroe are behind Darnold on the depth chart.
Darnold, 28, went 14-3 as a starting quarterback for the second straight season, doing so for the Minnesota Vikings in 2024 before signing with Seattle in free agency to replace Geno Smith.
Darnold threw for 4,048 yards, 25 touchdowns and 14 interceptions and earned his second consecutive Pro Bowl nod while helping Seattle outlast San Francisco and the Los Angeles Rams in a highly competitive NFC West race.
