Getty Sam Darnold injury update: A new report on the health of Darnold has emerged just a few days ahead of the Super Bowl. The Seattle Seahawks and quarterback Sam Darnold have a lot to be excited about as the clock ticks down to Super Bowl LX on Sunday, February 8. The event, of course, will feature the Seahawks against the New England Patriots in a West Coast showdown in San Francisco. But, Darnold has been nursing and oblique injury since January 25, which he oddly suffered during practice.
