An unexpected injury concern has emerged in Seattle ahead of the Divisional Round.
Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold was added to Thursday’s injury report with an oblique issue and is listed as questionable for Saturday’s playoff matchup against the visiting San Francisco 49ers. Darnold had not appeared on the injury report earlier in the week, raising uncertainty about his availability heading into the weekend.
