Darnold Active Despite Oblique Injury

Sam Darnold has been declared active for the Seahawks' upcoming game, despite recently sustaining an oblique injury. The quarterback incurred this injury during practice on Thursday, which had initially led to him being listed as questionable for the divisional-round matchup.

Darnold himself indicated he felt ready to play, and coach Mike Macdonald confirmed he would not be put in a position where he couldn't perform his duties. Despite not throwing since Thursday, the team believed he could start.

Drew Lock and emergency third quarterback Jalen Milroe are available to step in if Darnold is unable to continue directing the offense at any point during the game.
