Seahawks Rookie Nick Emmanwori Sustains High-Ankle Sprain, Week 2 in Doubt

Team doctors are evaluating a high-ankle sprain with an injured-reserve move under consideration.

Overview

  • Emmanwori left the Week 1 loss at San Francisco with an ankle injury after a tackle for loss on Christian McCaffrey and was initially listed as questionable.
  • Subsequent reporting identified the injury as a high-ankle sprain and characterized his status as week to week, with the team set to decide on injured reserve in the coming days.
  • He is viewed as likely to miss Sunday’s game against the Steelers as Seattle awaits further testing to set a timeline.
  • Ty Okada filled in after Emmanwori exited, and practice-squad options Jerrick Reed II and D’Anthony Bell have been mentioned if additional depth is needed.
  • Personnel usage could shift without the rookie starter, with reporting suggesting Seattle may lean on Julian Love and Coby Bryant at safety and use more traditional nickel packages.
