Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold has confirmed he will be available for Super Bowl LX, telling reporters on Thursday, "I’ll be good to go."
The update, first reported by Ian Rapoport of NFL Network (per @RapSheet), provides a definitive status for the veteran signal-caller ahead of Sunday's championship matchup against the New England Patriots. Darnold has been managing an oblique injury sustained during the team’s Divisional Round victory over the San Francisco 49ers.
According to Rapoport, Darnold has been a limited participant in practice throughout the week but has not missed any game action this postseason. Despite the injury designation, Darnold's personal confirmation indicates he expects to have no limitations when the Seahawks take the field in Santa Clara.
Head coach Mike Macdonald previously described Darnold as being "right on schedule" with his recovery plan, and today's news from the player himself solidifies Seattle's offensive lineup for the franchise's first Super Bowl appearance in over a decade.
This is a developing story. Check back for updates.
