Mike Macdonald confirms if Sam Darnold will miss Seahawks vs Rams with key weapon possibly back for 2026 NFC Championship game

Mike Macdonald, head coach of the Seattle Seahawks, provided the latest injury report on Sam Darnold ahead of the NFC Championship game against the Los Angeles Rams. Although there is still some uncertainty, the quarterback should be ready to go.

“Good. In terms of the plan, we’re still on the plan. So, I wasn’t part of the offensive walk-through just now, but they said it went really well. He’s feeling good. He feels better than he did going into the 49ers game and he showed that he can throw. We’d like to get some throws before Sunday.”

Darnold suffered the oblique injury last week, but he had no issues in the victory over the San Francisco 49ers. However, to win the Super Bowl, the Seahawks need their quarterback to be as healthy as possible.
