Take a breath, Seattle Seahawks fans. Your QB1 is okay.

Sam Darnold appeared on the Seahawks' injury report Thursday as a limited participant due to an oblique injury. This was unexpected; Darnold was off the report on Tuesday and Wednesday.

The team listed him as questionable to play in Saturday's divisional playoff game against NFC West foe San Francisco.

He later confirmed that he would indeed be suiting up against the 49ers.

"Kind of just felt a little something on that oblique, just didn't want to push it," Darnold said today. "Wasn't the day to push it so that was it. So I just came inside, got some rehab and feel like I'll be ready to go for Saturday."
