Sam Darnold

Despite preseason hype regarding a “Taysom Hill” role, Jalen Milroe logged a mere three snaps last season as tight end AJ Barner took over specialized short-yardage duties. His QB-only eligibility and minimal on-field presence currently render him fantasy-irrelevant, though he remains a theoretical vulture for red zone carries.

While his usage in the upcoming preseason inspires intrigue, he hasn’t shown enough to be considered a genuine threat to the backfield’s workload. Though undraftable in most formats, Milroe continues to be a viable dynasty stash in superflex leagues in case he somehow makes a leap as a thrower.

Sam Darnold has not let his oblique injury hamper his production on the road to Super Bowl 60 against the New England Patriots. In his two playoff games, Darnold has gone 37/53, 470 yards and four touchdowns. Darnold has been listed as a limited participant at practices this week.

Head Coach Mike MacDonald has said Darnold has gotten better progressively. ” He’s in a great spot, know he’s really confident, we’ll see how today plays out.” The Seahawks are currently favoured to win the Super Bowl and will rely heavily on Darnold’s efficiency and accuracy against a tough Patriots defense.

The Seattle Seahawks defeat the Los Angeles Rams and book their trip to Super Bowl LX. It was an incredibly competitive game defined by big plays and costly mistakes. A Jaxon Smith-Njigba touchdown with only 20 seconds left in the 2nd quarter gave the Seahawks the lead going into halftime. The first drive of the 3rd quarter ended with a Rams muffed punt that quickly turned into a Jake Bobo receiving touchdown and the Seahawks never looked back.

The Rams nearly mounted a comeback due to a back-breaking taunting penalty on Tariq Woolen, turning what would have been a 4th-and-12 punt, into a 34-yard Puka Nacua touchdown. Those would be the final points scored in the game. There were many games this season where the Seattle defense dominated to the point where the offense wasn’t needed, but with the NFC title on the line, it was Sam Darnold who stepped up, throwing for 346 yards and 3 touchdowns, and most importantly, 0 interceptions.

The Seahawks are set to face the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LX in Santa Clara.

It’s time for the NFL Divisional Round of the playoffs. It also means the latest in injury news to report before the teams release before gametime.

• Today, the No. 6 seed Buffalo Bills head to Mile High Stadium to face the top-seeded Denver Broncos. Josh Allen has many bumps and bruises ailing him, but he will be “full go” for the matchup, absent receivers Gabe Davis and Tyrell Shavers, who landed on the injured reserve last week, ending their season for an already-depleted wide receiver corps.
• Good news in that department came in the form of Curtis Samuel being activated from the list. He is active for the game and will jump right in as a weapon for Allen.
• Tight end Dalton Kincaid was limited all week (knee, calf) but has been playing through the injury of late. He will do so again on Saturday.
• Placekicker Matt Prater is good to go; it appears his quad injury is completely behind him.
• Running Back Ty Johnson (ankle) was only able to practice once this week, and on a limited basis. Expected to be the Bills’ No. 2 RB over Ray Davis. Johnson is officially out.
• The Denver Broncos have no notable injuries on the offensive side after a week of rest.

• The No. 6-seeded San Francisco 49ers will have to take on their rivals in Seattle without tight end George Kittle against the Seahawks.
• Wide receiver Jacob Cowing (IR) will not be activated before the game.
• Wideout Ricky Pearsall (PCL) is questionable and will be a game-time decision. Pearsall himself admitted a lack of explosiveness thanks to the injury but hopes to be on the field. Kyle Shanahan relayed that if he can play, there will be no snap count restrictions whatsoever.
• Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold, already battling a quad injury, aggravated the injury in practice and was forced to cut the session short. Darnold maintains that he is “fine” and is “looking forward to being out there.” Seattle’s backup quarterback is Drew Lock.
• Wide receivers Cooper Kupp and Jaxon Smith-Njigba missed practice on consecutive days this week, but neither absence was injury-related.

6 Buffalo Bills (12-5) at 1 Denver Broncos (14-3) – 4:30 PM ET

6 San Francisco 49ers (12-5) at 1 Seattle Seahawks (14-3) – 8:00 PM ET – Update coming soon

The Seattle Seahawks relied on their defense and the leg of their kicker in their 26-0 victory over the Minnesota Vikings. Sam Darnold threw for just 128 yards and zero scores.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba caught only two passes for 23 yards, while the running game was solid if unspectacular. Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet each rushed for over 50 yards and Charbonnet punched in a score.

This was just a blip on the radar for a Seattle offense that has performed well all season, JSN is still a locked in wide receiver one, Walker and Charbonnet are going to cut into each others work but are still solid running back options.
