San Francisco, CA.- With four days remaining until the Super Bowl LX matchup, both teams have gone through traveling, opening night, and all the media. Now, they hit the practice field and have begun preparing for the marquee matchup.
With today being the first reported practice of the week, every Seahawks player participated in some capacity.
As of note, Defensive Rookie of the Year favorite Safety Nick Emmanwori was added to the injury report with an ankle injury. Emmanwori reportedly tweaked his ankle during a live team drill period after making an athletic pass breakup.

Lastly, Fullback Robbie Ouzts (Neck), Left Tackle Charles Cross (Foot), and QB Sam Darnold (Oblique) were all limited. However, in a media session today, Sam Darnold said that he feels “really good.”
The Patriots, on the other hand- Middle Linebacker, and green dot captain Robert Spillane did not practice with an ankle injury. Although, Spillane did say today he is confident that he will play.
New England also had two players limited at practice, with Tackle Thayer Munford and Outside Line Backer Harold Landry both dealing with knee injuries. Quarterback Drake Maye, who has been dealing with a shoulder injury, and practiced in limited capacity all last week, was a full participant today.
