Cross (foot) doesn't have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Rams, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cross was unable to participate in practice Wednesday or Thursday, but the left tackle has managed to dodge an injury designation anyway. The 25-year-old should be all set to suit up for Sunday's contest and help the Seahawks protect quarterback Sam Darnold and running back Kenneth Walker.

Cross (foot) did not participate in Thursday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
The fourth-year pro has missed the first two practices of the week due to a foot injury, but head coach Mike Macdonald expressed optimism Thursday that Cross would play in Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Rams, per John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site. Backup tackles Josh Jones (knee/ankle) and Amari Kight (knee) also missed practice Wednesday and Thursday, so Friday's practice report and injury designations should provide some clarity on the Seahawks' health on the offensive line heading into Sunday's contest.

Cross (foot) did not participate at practice Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cross left Seattle's divisional-round win versus the 49ers early after suffering a foot injury, and now his status for the NFC Championship is up in the air. His direct backups at left tackle, Josh Jones (knee) and Amari Kight (knee), also did not practice Wednesday, so if Cross can't get back onto the practice field Thursday or Friday and give himself a chance to play Sunday versus the Rams, the Seahawks could find themselves with a serious issue along the offensive line.

Cross (foot) has been deemed day-to-day by Seattle head coach Mike Macdonald, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cross suffered a foot injury in Saturday's divisional-round win over San Francisco and wasn't able to finish the contest. Given Macdonald's assessment of Cross's status, the left tackle's likelihood of playing Sunday versus Los Angeles seems to be up in the air. Should Cross not be able to suit up, Josh Jones (knee) or Amari Kight could be asked to move into a starting role.

Cross exited Saturday's divisional-round game versus the 49ers with a foot injury and is considered questionable to return, Corbin K. Smith of SI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
It wouldn't be surprising if Cross doesn't re-enter the game with the Seahawks maintaining a 28-point lead at the time of this report. The Mississippi State product has been a key part of Seattle's reinvigorated offensive line that helped the team earn the No. 1 seed in the NFC. His status will be worth monitoring if the Seahawks move on to the NFC Championship Game. Josh Jones (knee) is inactive, so undrafted rookie Amari Kight will fill in for the remainder of the game if Cross doesn't return.

Cross (knee/hamstring) does not carry an injury designation into Saturday's NFC divisional-round game against the 49ers, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hamstring and knee injuries limited Cross's practice participation Wednesday, but the fourth-year pro avoided an injury tag for the divisional round after logging a full practice Thursday. Cross should remain the starter at left tackle while Mason Richman and Amari Kight provide depth.

Cross (knee) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cross logged a full practice when Seattle began its preparations for the Divisional Round on Tuesday, but he had to be held out for some reps Wednesday, bringing his availability for Saturday's game versus the 49ers into question. He'll likely need to get back to practicing in full Thursday to avoid carrying an injury designation when the Seahawks publish their last practice report of the week.

Cross (hamstring) was a full participant during Tuesday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official sitereports.
EDGE Analysis
Cross missed the final three games of the regular season due to a hamstring injury, but thanks to the extra rest from the Seahawks' bye for the NFC wild-card round, the 2022 first-rounder is on track to return for Saturday's divisional-round clash against the 49ers. Cross should reclaim his starting job at left tackle while Josh Jones (ankle) reverts to a reserve role.

Cross (hamstring) and the Seahawks agreed on a four-year, $104.4 million contract extension Sunday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cross is currently sidelined with a hamstring injury, but a new contract is certainly good for the soul. With Seattle set to have a bye week in the wild-card round, the offensive lineman will set his sights on being ready to go for the divisional round beginning Jan. 17. Cross has established himself as one of the best left tackles in the NFL, and his new deal is the largest non-quarterback contract in Seattle history.

Coach Mike Macdonald said Friday that the Seahawks are optimistic Cross (hamstring) can return to action in the next one-to-two weeks, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cross has been ruled out for Saturday night's game against the 49ers but could be eyeing a return to the field in the wild-card round if Seattle doesn't clinch the No. 1 seed in the NFC with a win over San Francisco. Josh Jones (ankle) is expected to make the start at left tackle Saturday.
