The Seattle Seahawks are playing in the biggest game of their season so far on Sunday when they host the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC Championship Game.
Quarterback Sam Darnold still doesn't appear to be 100% after an oblique injury.
The good news on Sunday morning, from ESPN's Adam Schefter, is that Darnold is going to start the game.
The bad news is this: He and backup Drew Lock split reps in practice this week.
"Darnold attempted only short and medium throws at practice and did not, as one source described, 'let it rip,'" Schefter writes. "He is saving that level of throwing effort for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Rams."

In some ways at least, this was the plan all along.
"Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald said Wednesday that Darnold's throwing would be curtailed as he continued to manage the injury," Schefter writes. "Macdonald said Friday that everything went according to plan in practice with Darnold, and that he was getting better by the day."
