Seahawks' Darnold Confidently Addresses Oblique Injury Before Super Bowl LX
With just four days until Super Bowl LX, Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold is feeling optimistic about his recovery from a left oblique injury. Despite playing through the injury in both playoff games, including the NFC Championship against the Los Angeles Rams, Darnold is now confident that his oblique feels 'really good'.
Darnold's coach, Mike Macdonald, echoes this sentiment, stating that the quarterback is 'in a great spot' and making steady progress. However, the question remains: how much will Darnold participate in practice this week? Since sustaining the injury on January 15, the Seahawks have consistently listed him as a limited participant in their injury reports.
After the Rams game, Macdonald revealed that Darnold's practice involvement was minimal that week. The team's schedule includes a workout on Monday, followed by a day off on Tuesday, and practice at San Jose State University for the rest of the week. When asked about Darnold's practice workload, Macdonald hinted at a gradual increase in activity, but the exact details remain uncertain.
The Seahawks' confidence in Darnold's recovery is notable, especially considering his performance in the playoff games. With the Super Bowl against the New England Patriots approaching, the team's optimism is a positive sign for their chances in the big game.
