Darnold (oblique) practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

After Darnold played through a left oblique injury this past Saturday against the 49ers, coach Mike Macdonald told Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle that the quarterback would be "day-to-day" this week. Macdonald said Wednesday that Darnold "continues to get better," but the Seahawks will cap his number of throws due to the health concern, per Brady Henderson of ESPN.com. Darnold himself relayed to Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic on Wednesday that he "felt good" in the wake of the divisional round, but he also needs "to get my body right to be ready" for Sunday's NFC Championship Game versus the Rams. In the end, Friday's injury report will reveal whether or not Darnold heads into the weekend with a designation.

Coach Mike Macdonald said Monday that Darnold (oblique) will be "day-to-day" this week, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Darnold suffered a left oblique injury last Thursday that left him questionable for this past Saturday's divisional-round game versus the 49ers, but he was able to suit up, start and play 47 of 53 offensive snaps en route to completing 12 of 17 passes for 124 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in a 41-6 win. The veteran QB wore padding over his left oblique to protect the issue, and Macdonald added Monday that the Seahawks will balance "making sure we get enough reps at the proper tempo, with the proper looks," and get him "the reps that he needs." That would seem to suggest Darnold will operate with practice restrictions this week, with Wednesday's injury report to reveal how much activity he logs in the first session ahead of Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Rams.

Darnold completed 12 of 17 passes for 124 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 41-6 divisional-round win over the 49ers.

EDGE Analysis

Darnold suffered an oblique injury Thursday, and his status seemed genuinely in doubt until shortly before kickoff. However, he managed Seattle to victory, with his lone touchdown pass coming on an impressive throw on the run to Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the corner of the end zone from four yards away. Darnold also completed long passes of 21 and 16 yards, though his stat line was ultimately limited by game script and because he was removed with most of Seattle's starters for roughly half of the fourth quarter. Speaking after the victory, Darnold acknowledged that his oblique would likely be a factor for the rest of the postseason, per Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic. It wouldn't be a surprise to see him on the injury report Wednesday.

Darnold (oblique) took all of the reps with the starting offense during warmups for the Seahawks prior to Saturday's divisional-round game against the 49ers, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Darnold appeared on the injury report Thursday, and his throws during warmups were his first since originally suffering the injury. Multiple social media posts from Seattle's official accounts also suggest that Darnold will be ready to start Saturday's playoff matchup. If there was a last-minute change to Darnold's status, Drew Lock would be set to take over under center.

Darnold (oblique) is listed as active Saturday against the 49ers.

EDGE Analysis

Darnold injured his oblique at Thursday's practice, which caused the Seahawks to list him as questionable ahead of their divisional-round matchup. He proceeded to tell John Boyle of the team's official site that he felt like he'll "be ready to go for Saturday," and coach Mike Macdonald then relayed to Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic on Friday that he wouldn't "put him out there if he couldn't do his job." Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Saturday morning that Darnold hasn't thrown since Thursday, but Seattle still was of the belief that he'd be able to start, which now at least seems likely. Drew Lock and emergency third QB Jalen Milroe are on hand in the event Darnold can't direct the offense at any point.

Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Darnold hasn't thrown a football since sustaining an oblique injury Thursday, but the Seahawks believe that the veteran quarterback will be cleared to start in Saturday's NFC divisional-round game against the 49ers.

EDGE Analysis

Darnold underwent treatment on his oblique injury after exiting Thursday's practice early, and head coach Mike Macdonald expressed optimism that the former would be ready for Saturday's playoff tilt, per Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic. Drew Lock has taken the first-team reps over the past two days and would run the Seahawks' offense in the event that Darnold were to be ruled out or be taken out of Saturday's game. Rookie third-rounder Jalen Milroe -- who hasn't played since Week 5 against the Buccaneers -- is on standby as the QB3 behind Darnold and Lock.

Coach Mike Macdonald expressed confidence Friday that Darnold (oblique) will be available for Saturday's divisional-round contest against the 49ers, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Darnold made an early exit from Thursday's session to get treatment on an oblique injury, which ultimately resulted in a limited listing on the final practice report and a designation of questionable entering the weekend. He told John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site afterward that he felt like he'll "be ready to go for Saturday." Macdonald echoed that sentiment Friday, adding there's a possibility Darnold may be limited physically but also that the team wouldn't "put him out there if he couldn't do his job," per Dugar. In the end, Darnold's status will be confirmed about 90 minutes before an 8:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Darnold, who exited Thursday's practice early to undergo treatment on an oblique injury, plans to play in Saturday's divisional-round game against the 49ers, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Darnold, who was deemed a limited participant in Thursday's session, officially is listed as questionable for Saturday's contest, but the QB noted after practice, "I feel good...in routes on air, I just felt a little something in my oblique. I just didn't want to push it. It wasn't the day to push it, so that was it. I came inside, got some rehab, and I feel like I'll be ready to go for Saturday." Moreover, when asked later what the likelihood of being unavailable this weekend was, Darnold said, "It's a very low percentage, probably closer to zero."

Darnold (oblique) is listed as questionable for Saturday night's divisional-round game against the 49ers, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Darnold wasn't listed on the Seahawks' injury report Tuesday or Wednesday, so his addition to it Thursday as a limited participant, per Brady Henderson of ESPN.com, is notable and thus makes the QB's status worth tracking ahead of Saturday's 8:00 p.m. ET kickoff. As a result of Darnold's oblique issue, Drew Lock logged some first-team QB reps Thursday, per Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune. That said, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic relays that Darnold, who said he felt something during practice and didn't want to push it, elected to play it safe and got some rehab during Seattle's final practice this week, but he indicated that he feels like he'll be "ready to go for Saturday."

Darnold completed 20 of 26 passes for 198 yards in Saturday's 13-3 win over the 49ers. He added six rushes for nine yards.

EDGE Analysis

The Seahawks played from ahead for nearly the entire matchup and were able to rely on their very effective run game. Darnold only needed to be a game manager as a result, and he played the role effectively. He didn't make any key mistakes, was sacked only twice, and had five completions of at least 15 yards. Darnold will likely be tested more in the postseason, but he will have an additional week of rest, as Seattle locked in the top seed in the NFC with the win.
