Nwosu sprained his MCL in preseason against the Cleveland Browns.
As expected, Seattle Seahawks outside linebacker Uchenna Nwosu will not make his regular season debut this week against the New England Patriots. Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald told reporters ahead of Wednesday’s practice that while George Fant, Pharaoh Brown, and Kenneth Walker could all practice with their respective injuries, that won’t be the case for Nwosu. Nwosu suffered an MCL sprain in the preseason finale against the Cleveland Browns.
Seattle opted not to put him on IR, indicating there’s a chance he could be back sooner than expected. It won’t be “Week 2” soon based on Macdonald’s comments. In Nwosu’s absence, the Seahawks still posted the highest pressure rate of Week 1, predominantly through edge rusher Boye Mafe and defensive lineman Leonard Williams, who registered five quarterback hits on Bo Nix. Derick Hall also had four pressures and a sack, while Mafe had seven pressures on 36 pass-rushing snaps.
