Seahawks QB Sam Darnold plans to play vs. 49ers despite oblique injury, calling his absence unlikely.

Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold, who injured his left oblique in practice Thursday, plans to play in Saturday’s NFC divisional playoff game against the 49ers despite being listed as questionable. Darnold, who led Seattle to a 14-3 record and a first-round bye, said his chance of missing the game is near zero and feels ready after rehab. Backup quarterbacks Drew Lock and rookie Jalen Milroe are available. The team ruled out backup left tackle Josh Jones (knee), but no other players have injury designations. First-round pick Charles Cross is expected to return after missing time since December 14.
