Seahawks Face Injury Concerns Ahead of Playoff Game vs. 49ers

Left tackle Charles Cross is now dealing with a knee injury in addition to his previous hamstring injury, potentially jeopardizing his start against the 49ers. Why this matters: Cross's absence would significantly weaken the Seahawks' offensive line.

Backup offensive tackle Josh Jones is also sidelined with a knee injury, further depleting the Seahawks' depth at the position. Why this matters: The Seahawks may have to rely on a rookie if neither Cross nor Jones can play.

Quarterback Sam Darnold is listed as questionable with an oblique injury. Why this matters: Darnold's potential absence could impact the Seahawks' offensive strategy.

Several other players, including Riq Woolen and Ernest Jones IV, are also dealing with injuries. Why this matters: These injuries could affect the Seahawks' performance on both offense and defense.

49ers linebacker Fred Warner initially didn't rule out return vs Seahawks, but has been ruled out.
