Good to go for divisional round Woolen (oblique) does not carry an injury designation into Saturday's NFC divisional-round game against the 49ers, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Woolen was limited in the first two practices of the week due to an oblique issue, but he faded an injury designation for Saturday's game after logging a full practice Thursday. The fourth-year pro ended the 2025 regular season with 41 tackles (33 solo) and 12 pass defenses (one interception) across 16 games.

Dealing with oblique issue Woolen (oblique) was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact The Seahawks were on a bye for the NFC wild-card round, so Woolen may have picked up the injury against the 49ers in Week 18, when he logged two tackles (one solo) and one pass defense. The fourth-year pro will have two more opportunities to increase his practice participation ahead of Saturday's divisional-round clash against San Francisco.
