For the second time this season, outdoors linebacker Uchenna Nwosu is again.
Nwosu, one in every of Seattle’s prime defensive gamers over the previous two seasons previous to struggling a season-ending pectoral damage halfway via final season, was activated from injured reserve Thursday, clearing the way in which for him to return for Seattle’s Week 14 recreation in opposition to Arizona.
This is the second time this season Nwosu has needed to work his method again from damage, having missed the primary 4 video games of the season resulting from a knee damage suffered in Seattle’s preseason finale. Unfortunately for Nwosu and the Seahawks, that return was short-lived, as he suffered a thigh damage in his first recreation again.
Nwosu, who signed with the Seahawks as a free agent in 2022, had a team-leading 9.5 sacks that 12 months and was arguably the group’s finest defensive participant. He was off to a different robust begin in 2023 earlier than struggling a season-ending pectoral damage in Week 6.
Being activated from IR is not the one constructive information for Nwosu this week, as he was named the group’s nominee for the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year award on Thursday.
The Seahawks made further roster strikes Thursday, waiving CB Dee Williams and claiming WR Jaelon Darden off waivers.
