Seahawks' Uchenna Nwosu Placed on Injured Reserve with Thigh Injury

The linebacker will miss at least four games after sustaining the injury in his season debut against the Giants.

  • Nwosu suffered the thigh injury during Seattle's 29-20 loss to the New York Giants, marking his first game back after a preseason knee injury.
  • The Seahawks' linebacker had previously missed the final 11 games of the 2023 season due to a torn pectoral muscle.
  • Seattle will rely on young linebackers Derick Hall, Boye Mafe, and Trevis Gipson to fill in during Nwosu's absence.
  • Head Coach Mike Macdonald confirmed Nwosu's status and highlighted additional injuries within the team's defense.
  • Nwosu signed a three-year contract extension in 2023, but ongoing injuries have limited his playtime since.
