From Jets bust to Super Bowl QB: Darnold's remarkable return
7 Feb
Summary
- Quarterback Sam Darnold is healthy for Super Bowl LX.
- Darnold has overcome an oblique injury to play.
- Several Seahawks players are cleared to play Sunday.

Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold is officially ready to play in Super Bowl LX. He had been managing an oblique injury in recent weeks, but his full participation in practice this week means he carries no injury designation for Sunday's championship game against the Patriots. This availability completes a notable comeback for Darnold, who previously washed out with the Jets after being the third overall draft pick. He is now poised to lead his fifth NFL team to a title.
Safety Nick Emmanwori has also been cleared to play in the Super Bowl. Emmanwori had an ankle issue that caused him to miss practice on Thursday, but he returned to full participation by Friday. Only tackle Josh Jones and fullback Robbie Ouzts were limited in practice, with Ouzts being the sole Seahawks player listed as questionable for the season's final game.
