Injury news and notes from Mike Macdonald’s Monday press conference following the divisional win over the 49ers.

The Seattle Seahawks‘ biggest question heading into the NFC Championship game is the health of quarterback Sam Darnold. The Seahawks QB1 has been on the injury list after picking up an oblique strain last Thursday while throwing a pass to a receiver early in practice two days before the divisional round against the San Francisco 49ers.

Sam Darnold made his mindset crystal clear ahead of Seahawks vs. Rams in the NFC Championship, doubling down on aggression, and trust.

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan has been accused of dry snitching on the Seattle Seahawks and Sam Darnold.

The Seahawks lost their Week 11 game in Los Angeles, but in part because of how that game, and postgame, played out, they haven’t lost since.
