Here are the Super Bowl LX injury updates and & player status for you. With Super Bowl LX just two days away on Sunday, February 8 (6:30 p.m. ET, NBC), both the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks released their latest practice participation reports on Thursday, February 5.
The good news for fans: No major absences are expected among the biggest stars, though a few key players are managing nagging issues heading into the matchup at Levi’s Stadium.
The Seahawks enter as slight favorites (-4.5 spread in some reports), but injuries could play a role in prop bets, player performances, and game flow. Here’s the latest on the most talked-about injuries, based on official team reports, coach comments, and player statements.
Super Bowl LX Injury Updates & Player Status
Here’s the Super Bowl LX injury updates & player status for you. We have split them out across both teams and players below.
Seattle Seahawks Key Injury Updates
- S Nick Emmanwori (Ankle): The rookie standout (No. 35 pick in 2025) suffered a low ankle sprain after rolling it late in Wednesday’s practice. He did not participate in Thursday’s session (as expected for management), but head coach Mike Macdonald said the team “fully expects” him to play. Emmanwori himself downplayed it, telling reporters “I’m good” and expressing confidence. As a versatile defensive back with 81 tackles, 2.5 sacks, and strong coverage skills this season, his availability is huge for containing Patriots’ passing game. Minimal impact expected on odds-he’s trending toward full participation Sunday.
- QB Sam Darnold (Oblique): The veteran QB, who has been dealing with this core injury since before the divisional round win over the 49ers, was upgraded to full participation on Thursday-his first full session since mid-January. Darnold said the oblique “feels really good” and the extra rest helped. He’s been lights-out in the playoffs; expect no limitations on throws or mobility. Positive for Seahawks’ offense and props like passing yards/TDs.
- Other Notables:
- T Charles Cross (Foot) – Limited.
- FB Robbie Ouzts (Neck) – Limited.
- T Josh Jones (Ankle/Knee) – Full.
- LB Ernest Jones IV (Chest) – Full.
- Several rest/injury-related limits (e.g., WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba rest), but no red flags for starters.
Overall, Seahawks had strong attendance with most players practicing fully or limited-team looks healthy entering game week.
New England Patriots Key Injury Updates
- QB Drake Maye (Right Shoulder): The second-year star (impressive 2025 stats: 4,394 yards, 31 TDs) injured his throwing shoulder in the AFC Championship win over the Broncos. He was limited last week but returned to full participation Thursday (and earlier sessions), saying it “feels great” with no lingering pain. Maye noted it “turned a corner” during travel to the Bay Area. Huge boost for New England’s offense-props involving his passing/TDs should hold steady.
- Other Notables:
- LB Robert Spillane (Ankle) – Limited (first practice back after AFC title game absence); he’s “100% confident” he’ll play.
- LB Harold Landry III (Knee) – Did not participate (downgraded).
- OT Thayer Munford Jr. (Knee) – Limited.
- OT Morgan Moses (Rest/Not Injury Related) – Limited.
- The team is monitoring about six players total, but no game-time decisions expected for core guys.
Patriots’ quarterback health is the biggest win here-Maye at full strength keeps their high-powered attack intact.
Super Bowl LX Odds Impact & Betting Notes
- Emmanwori’s near-certain status stabilizes Seahawks’ defense props (e.g., takeaways, opponent yards).
- Both QBs (Darnold oblique, Maye shoulder) fully practicing removes major concerns-boosts over/under passing totals and player props.
