The Seahawks came into Saturday night's divisional round game against the 49ers with their quarterback Sam Darnold listed as questionable due to an oblique injury suffered in practice Thursday.

Darnold ended up playing and the injury was a non-issue as he enjoyed an efficient, turnover-free game in a 41-6 win over the 49ers.

But while Darnold came out of the game OK, the Seahawks did see two offensive players exit early due to injury.

Running back Zach Charbonnet, who along with Kenneth Walker III, has been a big part of the team's late-season surge in the rushing game, left in the second quarter with a knee injury and did not return.

Left tackle Charles Cross, who was playing in his first game since injuring his hamstring in a Week 15 win over the Colts, left in the third quarter with a foot injury and was replaced by Amari Kight.

After the game, Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald said that the early indications on Charbonnet are that it is not a serious injury, though they'll need to do imaging to confirm that, and that Cross coming out was more of a precautionary move with he Seahawks enjoying a big lead.

"Optimistic with Charbs," Macdonald said. "We've got to get an image and stuff, but early indications are hopefully it's OK structurally. You never know with these things, but he wasn't able to come back, obviously. And Charles was really out of caution. We were in a position where we didn't need him to come back, but still we're going to have to work through it with his foot. I don't have an indication of what that's going to look like."
