Seattle Seahawks QB Sam Darnold (oblique) will be day-to-day this week, according to head coach Mike Macdonald. 'Balancing making sure we get enough reps at the proper tempo, with the proper looks, you know, and getting Sam the reps he needs,' Macdonald said Monday, Jan. 19.
| Footballguys view: Darnold, who played through an oblique injury suffered in last Thursday's practice, Macdonald said there were no setbacks. "To my knowledge, he's good," Macdonald said. "He didn't make it worse or anything, but I'm sure he's sore. This is something that we're going to have to navigate the rest of the week." Macdonald said there was almost no doubt that Darnold would play, even on the day the injury happened, both because of the way he responded to the setback and because of the toughness he has shown the team this season. We'll be monitoring Darnold's progress all week. Stay tuned. |

Seattle Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker III matched a franchise record with three rushing touchdowns, 116 rushing yards and 19 carries in the NFC Divisional Round playoff game against the San Francisco 49ers.
| Footballguys view: That was the Walker that fantasy investors who landed him last summer expected all season. With Zach Charbonnet suffering a torn ACL against the 49ers, Walker will have ample opportunity against the Rams this week. Walker is currently the only healthy running back on the 53-man roster, but the Seahawks also have veteran backs Velus Jones Jr and Cam Akers on the practice squad. Additionally, George Holani, who has been on injured reserve since late November due to a hamstring injury, could be a candidate to return. However, he has not yet be designated to return to practice. |
Seattle Seahawks WR Rashid Shaheed had a 95-yard kickoff return for touchdown to open the NFC Divisional Round playoff game against the San Francisco 49ers to open the game.
| Footballguys view: It was just the third postseason kickoff return for touchdown in franchise history, and only the 28th kickoff return for touchdown in a playoff game in NFL history. |
Seattle Seahawks RBs Cam Akers and/or Velus Jones Jr. could be options to fill in behind RB Kenneth Walker III, according to head coach Mike Macdonald on Monday, Jan. 19, now that RB Zach Charbonnet (knee) is out for the rest of the playoffs.

Seattle Seahawks RB George Holani (hamstring) is an option to return from the Reserve/Injured list, head coach Mike Macdonald said Monday, Jan. 19. Holani was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Nov. 29 due to a hamstring injury. 'I think we'll just let this play out this week,' Macdonald said, as the team scrambles to find a replacement for RB Zach Charbonnet (knee).

Link to storySeattle Seahawks OT Charles Cross (foot) is considered day-to-day because of a foot injury, according to head coach Mike Macdonald.
Link to storySeattle Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet (knee) suffered a significant knee injury during the Divisional Round playoff game and will need to undergo surgery, according to head coach Mike Macdonald.
| Footballguys view: ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the injury is a torn ACL. That makes sense. While Macdonald didn't reveal the exact nature of the injury, he said Charbonnet would face "a long road back," potentially hinting at the running back missing time next season. Throughout the regular season, Charbonnet and Kenneth Walker combined to give the Seahawks a fearsome rushing attack. The team ranked 10th in the NFL with 2,096 rushing yards in 2025. Walker led the way with 1,027 yards, but Charbonnet was the hammer, scoring 12 of the team's 19 rushing scores. |

Seattle Seahawks QB Sam Darnold completed 12 of his 17 passes for 124 yards and a touchdown in a 41-6 win over the San Francisco 49ers in the Divisional Round. RB Kenneth Walker III rushed 19 times for 106 yards and three touchdowns and caught three passes for 29 yards. WR Cooper Kupp caught five passes for a team-high 60 yards, and WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba had three grabs for 19 yards and a score. WR Rashid Shaheed gained 27 yards on two carries, and he returned the opening kickoff for a touchdown. TE AJ Barner was not targeted, but he did have a two-yard carry. LB Ernest Jones IV had six tackles and an interception, and DL Leonard Williams and DL DeMarcus Lawrence both recorded a sack.
| Footballguys view: The Seahawks scored on the first play of the game when Rashid Shaheed return the kickoff for a score, and they were up 17-0 at the end of the first quarter. It just got worse from there for the 49ers. The Seahawks pass offense didn't have to break a sweat, so it wasn't a big statistical game for Sam Darnold, but Ken Walker dominated a banged up 49ers defense and Darnold didn't show ill effects from the oblique injury he suffered during the practice last week. The Seahawks will host the NFC title game next week. |
