Seattle Seahawks safety Nick Emmanwori just gave an update on his health ahead of the matchup against the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LX. While speaking to reporters on Thursday, Emmaanwori said he expects to play in the championship game despite dealing with an ankle injury.

“I’ll be ready to go,” Emmanwori said, per Omar Ruiz of the NFL Network. Emmanwori suffered the injury at the end of practice on Wednesday, and Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald revealed that it was a low-ankle sprain.

“He rolled his ankle yesterday, and he’s got a low ankle sprain,” Macdonald said, per John Boyle of Seahawks.com. “He’s going to do the walkthrough today, not sure how extensive, if at all, he’s going to practice. But he’s confident, we’ve got a great plan, fully expect him to play… He’s doing great and moving around. We’ve just got to make sure we handle it the right way. We’re probably going to be overly careful and over-cautious at this point to make sure we’re rolling going into the weekend.”
