The Seahawks don't know if Uchenna Nwosu will be able to play in their season opener, but his prognosis looks to be a best case scenario with a sprained knee.
provided optimism about Uchenna Nwosu's recovery from a knee injury by opting not to initially place him on injured reserve.
On the receiving end of an illegal chop block by Browns guard Wyatt Teller, Nwosu exited the lineup on the Seahawks opening defensive drive in the first quarter and quickly went to the blue injury tent for evaluation. He stayed on the sideline for a few moments before eventually being taken to the locker room. After the game, coach Mike Macdonald wasn't able to provide any specifics on his injury, but a later report from ESPN's Adam Schefter indicated he would be out two to six weeks.
As an anchor for Seattle's defensive line, Nwosu has been as valuable as any defender on the team since arriving as a free agent signing in March 2022. In his first year with the organization, he narrowly missed double-digit sacks, forced three fumbles, and tallied career-highs with 12 tackles for loss and 26 quarterback hits, earning himself a lucrative extension in July 2023.
