The Seattle Seahawks<\/a> are set to enter their NFC Divisional Round matchup against the San Francisco 49ers with a major question mark: the health of star quarterback Sam Darnold.<\/p>\n

Darnold said he felt something in his oblique while throwing passes during Thursday\u2019s practice and stopped throwing. The 28-year-old has not thrown a football since, and the Seahawks believe \u2014 but don\u2019t know \u2014 that he will be ready to start Saturday\u2019s game, according to ESPN.<\/a><\/p>\n

Backup quarterback Drew Lock<\/a> took Darnold\u2019s place and received the first-team reps the last two days and will start if Darnold can\u2019t go.<\/p>\n

“Didn\u2019t want to push it,” Darnold said Thursday. “Wasn\u2019t the day to push it. That was it. Just came inside, got some rehab. Feel like I\u2019ll be ready to go for Saturday.”<\/p>\n

Darnold said it was the first time he has dealt with an oblique issue and that he would be getting treatment on it leading into the game. He remained confident that he would play.<\/p>\n

When asked about his chances of sitting out, Darnold said, “Very low percentage. Probably closer to zero.”<\/p>\n

Darnold has been great for the Seahawks in his first season with the team, leading them to a 14-3 record, an NFC West Division title and the No. 1 seed in the NFC. In 17 games, Darnold has completed 67.7% of his passes for 4,048 yards with 25 touchdowns and 14 interceptions, earning his second straight Pro Bowl selection.<\/p>\n

If Darnold cannot play against the 49ers<\/a>, it would be a major blow. Lock has appeared in five games this season, throwing just three passes.<\/p>\n

Lock started five games for the New York Giants<\/a> last season, going 1-4 with a 59.1% completion percentage and throwing for 1,071 yards with six touchdowns and five interceptions. He has started 28 games in his career, going 10-18.<\/p>\n

“Drew\u2019s been really impressive throughout OTAs and training camp and in his role,” offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak said. “A lot of confidence in Drew. Brought him here for a reason.”<\/p>\n

The top-seeded Seahawks play the No. 6-seeded 49ers at 8 p.m. ET on Saturday.<\/p>\n
