The San Francisco 49ers battle the NFC’s No. 1-seeded Seattle Seahawks, their bitter NFC West rivals, in a divisional-round playoff game on Saturday, Jan. 17 at 5 p.m. PT at Lumen Field in Seattle.
The Seahawks beat the 49ers at Levi’s Stadium just two weeks ago in the regular-season finale, clinching the division and the conference’s top seed, and sending the Niners to the No. 6 seed.
However, that San Francisco loss came without Trent Williams, who returned from a hamstring injury in last week’s playoff-opening win over the Eagles, and Ricky Pearsall, who could return Saturday from a knee issue. Linebacker Fred Warner’s bid to return to play from an October ankle fracture was put on hold for at least one more week.
Also up in the air is the status of Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold, who was added to Seattle’s injury report on Thursday with an oblique injury, though he told reporters he expected to play. His counterpart, Brock Purdy, is 4-0 in his career in Seattle.
