"SEATTLE - Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold is active, as expected, for the team's divisional-round playoff game against the San Francisco 49ers Saturday. Darnold and coach Mike Macdonald both said the quarterback was expected to play despite an oblique injury that had him listed as questionable. While Darnold is active, he was not on the field with the rest of the team an hour before kickoff, and it remains to be seen how the injury may impact him. Drew Lock is Darnold's backup."
"Darnold was hurt during practice on Thursday. He said he "felt a little something" in his left side while throwing during a routes-on-air period. Darnold then left practice - saying it was out of precaution -- and was listed as limited afterward. He told reporters that he had close to zero doubt that he'd play."
