The Seattle Seahawks have confirmed that Percy Harvin will play against the New Orleans Saints this weekend.

The wide receiver featured in just one game during the regular season, missing the start of the campaign while recovering from hip surgery, before suffering a setback following his Seahawks debut.

The 25-year-old told reporters that he "absolutely" expects to play a role in the NFC West side's playoff game against the Saints tomorrow.

Harvin has been a full participant in practice with the team this week.
