SAN JOSE, Calif. — The injury outlook is surprisingly bright for a key member of The Dark Side.

Nick Emmanwori — a jack of all trades for the Seahawks defense nicknamed “The Dark Side” because of his versatility in the slot — suffered a low ankle sprain and exited early from Wednesday’s practice but is “fully expect[ed] to play” Sunday in Super Bowl LX, Emmanwori and head coach Mike Macdonald agreed.

Imaging results showed no damage.

“Super relief,” Emmanwori said. “The doc told me I’m going to be good.”

Breathe easier, Seahawks fans.

And anyone else who saw the worrisome video of Emmanwori limping into the team hotel Wednesday after arriving separately from his teammates.

His foot was not in a boot.

The Thursday plan was for Emmanwori to participate in the Seahawks’ walk-through but not practice.

“Nobody really wants to get hurt or banged up during the Super Bowl week, or any week at that, so it just kind of caught me off guard,” Emmanwori said. “It was just a little scare.”

Dr. David Chao — the former Chargers team physician — analyzes injuries through video for SICscore.com and suggested it is “likely [a] right inversion ankle sprain” that would have prevented him from playing Thursday.

“We just have to make sure we handle it the right way,” Macdonald said. “Probably going to be overcareful and overcautious at this point to make sure we’re rolling going into the weekend.”

Emmanwori, a finalist for Defensive Rookie of the Year, played 920 snaps in the regular season but lined up at three different spots more than 100 times each, per Pro Football Focus.

“Emmanwori had pass break-ups in coverage against both Puka Nacua and Davante Adams in the NFC Championship Game,” ESPN NFL analyst Jason McCourty told The Post, “but also can be on the edge in a five-man front and play the run as if he is an outside linebacker, or be in the box as an inside linebacker. It makes him kind of special.”

The Seahawks put a lot of responsibility on their second-round pick from the jump — and he responded as part of one of the NFL’s best secondaries, even after he rolled the same left ankle in Week 1.

“There’s urgency here to win,” veteran safety Julian Love said before the injury. “I don’t need young Nick Emmanwori dipping his toe in the water this year. I need him on the field and successful so we can all be successful.”

The 6-foot-3, 220-pound South Carolina product has the size and physicality to cover Patriots tight end Hunter Henry after his career year and the speed (4.38-second 40-yard dash) to fly around with running backs and receivers.

“There’s only so many of those people walking the planet,” Macdonald said.

One of them is walking with a limp. But Emmanwori said this isn’t a case of forcing him back into the lineup because it’s Super Bowl-or-bust.

“I think I’d be good to go any Sunday,” he said. “If it was last week or two weeks ago, same outcome. Once I’m out there, my adrenaline is going to be pumping. It’s the last game of the season.”
