Seattle Seahawks QB Sam Darnold Questionable (Oblique) vs. Los Angeles Rams

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold is officially listed as questionable for the NFC Championship game against the Los Angeles Rams with an oblique injury. He was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday, but it sounds like he is in no danger of missing this weekend’s game, barring any significant setbacks.

The Seahawks are set as 2.5-point home favourites on the NFL odds board.

“We have a plan,” Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald told reporters about Darnold this week. “We’re going to work through it; see how the day goes; then kind of take it day by day and take it to tomorrow. But he won’t be like throwing every ball every play for the whole week, no.”

The Seahawks advanced to the championship game after defeating the San Francisco 49ers 41-6 while Darnold completed 12 of 17 passes for 124 yards and a touchdown before sitting down in the fourth quarter. The Los Angeles Rams secured their spot with a 20-17 victory over the Chicago Bears.

During the 2025 season, Darnold has completed 67.7% of his passes for 4,048 yards, 25 touchdowns, and 14 interceptions. He has also rushed for 95 yards on 35 attempts and has lost 6 fumbles.
