Overview

  • The team announced on August 17 that Nwosu passed his physical, was removed from the PUP list and has returned to practice.
  • Coach Mike Macdonald said it’s too early to confirm Week 1 availability but that Nwosu is on track for the season opener under a structured ramp-up.
  • Nwosu agreed to a restructured deal this offseason that cut his 2025 cap hit to $11.8 million, securing his spot on the 90-man roster.
  • Following a 2022 breakout, Nwosu has appeared in just 12 games over the past two seasons after suffering a torn pectoral in 2023 and an MCL sprain with a torn quad in 2024.
  • His return comes into a competitive edge-rushing group featuring Boye Mafe, Derick Hall and new free-agent addition DeMarcus Lawrence, leaving his precise role to be determined.
