Seahawks Rookie Safety Nick Emmanwori Sidelined by High Ankle Sprain With IR Under Consideration

Mike Macdonald said the team will assess further this week and is treating the situation as week to week.

Overview

  • Emmanwori exited the Week 1 loss at San Francisco with an ankle injury after recording a tackle for loss on Christian McCaffrey.
  • Macdonald confirmed it is a high ankle sprain and said a move to injured reserve is being weighed in the coming days.
  • An injured reserve designation would sideline the second-round pick for a minimum of four games under league rules.
  • Ty Okada took over at safety in Emmanwori’s place, with Jerrick Reed II and D’Anthony Bell noted as additional depth options.
  • His status for Week 2 remains uncertain as Seattle prepares for a short-term absence and awaits a roster decision.
