Sam Darnold Health, Injury Updates & History

Carries no injury designation ahead of the NFC Championship this Sunday, Darnold was limited in prac...

Sam Darnold was a surprise addition to the injury report, listed as limited and questionable with a left, non-throwing-side oblique injury that reportedly occurred during practice, there is little indication it will keep him out, the non-throwing oblique is involved in torso rotation and throwing mechanics, the injury happened while throwing against air, which makes a serious issue less likely, and Darnold has said he expects to play, the questionable designation is likely procedural and precautionary given playoff reporting rules and potential fines, rather than a sign of true concern, leaving his availability for this weekend with a very low worry level.

Was a full participant in practice on Friday, he had been dealing with a hand injury but with the full practice on Friday, he has no injury designation headed into W11

Will undergo an MRI on his left knee after a low hit from Houston's Danielle Hunter. Only missed one play and continued to be effective, we expect he will play in week 4 against the Packers

The QB lost his job due to an early season ankle issue but is now healthy with his job back
