Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold rips a pass over the middle to wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba who makes an unbelievable adjustment in mid air to haul in the 19-yard catch in Week 18 against the San Francisco 49ers.

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold is questionable with an oblique injury for Saturday’s divisional game against the San Francisco 49ers. Darnold told reporters Thursday he expects to play Saturday night, and head coach Mike Macdonald reiterated that sentiment on Friday.

The Seattle Seahawks were trending in the right direction when it came to injuries, but the franchise may be dealing with a setback days before the team squares off against the San Francisco 49ers in the NFL playoffs. Seattle enjoyed a bye week during the wild card round allowing some of the team’s key players to get healthy.

The Seahawks have played the same team in consecutive games only once before. They'll do it this weekend as they play the 49ers in back-to-back big games.
