Seattle Seahawks Injury Update: Darnold and Cross Expected to Play in NFC Title Game
The Seattle Seahawks are gearing up for the NFC title game against the Los Angeles Rams with good news on the injury front. Quarterback Sam Darnold and left tackle Charles Cross are both expected to play on Sunday, as they did not receive a game status designation on the injury report. Darnold has been managing an oblique injury but participated in practice, while Cross, who suffered a foot injury in the previous game, is also likely to start.
The Seahawks are relieved that Darnold and Cross are in good shape for the upcoming game. Darnold's oblique injury did not prevent him from playing in the last game, and Cross, despite missing practice earlier in the week, is optimistic about his availability for Sunday's matchup. The team is hopeful that both players will be able to contribute to the team's success in the NFC Championship game.
Having Cross healthy is crucial for the Seahawks, especially with their backup left tackle options also dealing with injuries. Josh Jones and Amari Kight are both nursing injuries, which makes Cross's availability even more significant. The team is managing the injuries of several players, including fullback Robbie Ouzts and linebacker Chazz Surratt, but the rest of the roster is healthy and ready to compete on Sunday.
As the Seahawks prepare to face the Rams in the NFC Championship game, they are counting on the return of key players like Darnold and Cross to lead them to victory. With a healthy roster and a determined mindset, the Seahawks are ready to take on the challenge and secure a spot in the Super Bowl.
