The Seattle Seahawks activated pass rusher Uchenna Nwosu from injured reserve on Thursday after a seven-game absence with a torn left thigh.
Nwosu has appeared in just one game this season for Seattle. A knee injury sustained in the team's final preseason game against the Cleveland Browns on a questionable block from guard Wyatt Teller sidelined Nwosu for the first four games of the season. Upon returning to action against the New York Giants in Week 5, Nwosu played just 20 snaps before the thigh injury again took him out of the lineup."It's been tough," Nwosu said.
"That's what I'm preparing for. That's a coach's decision at the end of the day. That's out of my control, but I'm preparing to be able to play," he said.Nwosu was also announced to be the Seahawks' Walker Payton Man of the Year Award nominee on Thursday for excellence on the field and in the community."It means a lot.
