Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold is feeling confident about his oblique injury ahead of Super Bowl LX, despite playing through it in the team's playoff games. With four days to go, he's taking a cautious approach, emphasizing the importance of a full recovery and gradual progression. Coach Mike Macdonald shares this sentiment, noting that Darnold is making steady progress and is confident in his availability for the big game.
Darnold's resilience is notable, as he played through the injury in both playoff games, including the NFC Championship against the Los Angeles Rams, where he threw three touchdown passes. However, the Seahawks have been cautious with his practice participation, listing him as a limited participant in all injury reports since the injury on January 15. Despite this, Macdonald reassures fans that Darnold is in a great spot and making steady progress.
The team's focus remains on a full recovery and preparation for the Super Bowl, with practice sessions set to take place at San Jose State University. Macdonald hints at a gradual increase in Darnold's practice workload, but the exact details remain undisclosed, leaving fans and analysts alike to speculate on the quarterback's availability and performance in the upcoming game.
