Sam Darnold Cleared for Super Bowl LX Despite Limited Practice

Seahawks QB Sam Darnold has no injury designation for Super Bowl LX on Feb. 8, indicating a clean bill of health despite remaining limited in practice this week due to a left oblique injury sustained Jan. 15. He previously played through the injury in earlier playoff games, combining for 470 passing yards, four touchdowns, and no interceptions. His success, including 4,319 yards and 35 TDs in 2025, and Super Bowl berth, influenced the Vikings' decision to fire GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah, who opted not to re-sign Darnold. Darnold is thriving in his seventh NFL season with his fifth team.
