Thursday’s Injury Report
The Seahawks practiced for a second straight day without starting left tackle Charles Cross, who has a foot injury, as well as reserve tackles Josh Jones (knee, ankle) and Amari Kight (knee).
The good news, however, is that Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald expressed optimism about Cross playing in Sunday’s NFC championship game.
“Charles is good,” Macdonald said. “We’ll see how today goes. But we’re optimistic for the game. But just working through his foot.”
Macdonald described Jones, who missed last weekend’s game with a knee injury, and Kight, who finished the game in place of Cross, are both day-to-day.
Quarterback Sam Darnold was limited for a second straight day due to his oblique injury, as Macdonald said would likely be the case all week.
“In terms of the plan, we’re still on the plan,” Macdonald said. “I wasn’t part of the offensive walkthrough just now, but they said it went really well, and feeling good.”
Also limited in practice were fullback Robbie Ouzts (neck) and guar Bryce Cabeldue, while outside linebacker Uchenna Nwosu (hamstring) went from limited on Wednesday to full participation on Thursday.
Running back George Holani, who returned to practice this week from injured reserve, was again a full participant, giving him a chance to return this week with the Seahawks having lost running back Zach Charbonnet to a knee injury.
“George did a good job,” Macdonald said. “Doing a great job.”
For the Rams, safety Quentin Lake was a full participant after missing Wednesday’s practice due to illness. Outside linebacker Bryce Young did not practice for the second day in a row due to a knee injury, while cornerback Emmanuel Forbes (shoulder) was limited for the second straight day. Tackle Rob Havenstein, who has been on injured reserve with an ankle injury, returned to practice Thursday and was listed as limited.
