Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jake Bobo is active and playing in today's Super Bowl despite suffering a broken hand during the NFC Championship game, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
According to Rapoport, Bobo underwent surgery on his hand the very next day after the Seahawks secured their victory in the conference title game. Despite the surgical procedure and the extremely short two-week recovery window, the receiver is officially available and on the field for today's championship matchup.
The Seahawks training staff worked quickly to address the fracture immediately following the NFC Championship, allowing Bobo to maintain his spot in the lineup for the final game of the year. The receiver has been a notable contributor for Seattle throughout the postseason, and his ability to play through the injury provides a significant boost to the team's depth on the game's biggest stage.
No further details regarding the specific nature of the surgery or any protective padding Bobo may be utilizing have been released at this time. The Seahawks have not officially commented on the injury, but the wideout's presence in the active lineup confirms his status for the contest.
