Seahawks Make Nick Emmanwori a Game-Time Decision for Week 2

A pregame ankle check will determine whether his return provides a direct matchup on Cardinals tight end Trey McBride.

Overview

  • The Seahawks listed Emmanwori as questionable with ankle and hip issues and said a pregame warmup will decide his availability, making him a game‑time decision.
  • Emmanwori missed the season opener while rehabbing offseason ankle surgery but made his season debut against Arizona in limited snaps and registered one tackle.
  • Seattle again elevated Rodney Thomas II from the practice squad as a ready fallback and has ruled safety Ty Okada out with a hamstring injury.
  • Emmanwori’s 6-foot-3, 220-pound build and coverage range are seen as a direct counter to Trey McBride, who caught nine passes for 95 yards in Week 1.
  • The team carried Emmanwori on the initial 53-man roster after he passed a physical so he could return sooner, and coaches may manage his snap count after the long layoff.
