Key Highlights

  • "Feeling really good this whole week.
  • I feel like the process is going right along where it should be, so I feel really good for Sunday."Darnold suffered the injury to his left side in practice last Thursday.
  • He played through it two days later in the divisional round, completing 12 of 17 attempts for 124 yards and a touchdown before giving way to Drew Lock with nine minutes remaining in Seattle's 41-6 win over the San Francisco 49ers. Coach Mike Macdonald said Wednesday that Darnold's throwing would be curtailed this week as he continues to manage the injury.
  • Macdonald said Friday that everything has gone according to plan this week with Darnold and that he's getting better by the day."The guys in the training room do a really good job with everybody, myself included," Darnold said.
  • "We're just taking it day by day and making sure I do all the things I need to do to get ready for Sunday."The top-seeded Seahawks will have starting left tackle Charles Cross protecting Darnold's blindside Sunday after he missed the first two practices of the week due to a foot injury that sidelined him for the fourth quarter against the 49ers.
