Seahawks QB Sam Darnold (oblique) active for Divisional Round game vs. 49ers

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold is set to play in the Divisional Round game against the San Francisco 49ers after being listed as questionable due to an oblique injury sustained during Thursday's practice. Darnold, who downplayed the injury's significance, has confirmed his readiness to participate in the game.

Darnold's performance against the 49ers this season includes completing 36 of 49 passes for 348 yards. This game makes history as the first time two teams have met in the first and last weeks of the season, as well as in the playoffs.

Darnold, the third overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, has achieved a career-high 67.7
