• Seahawks' Uchenna Nwosu: Active for SNF

  Rotowire Oct 25, 2026

  Nwosu (hip) is active for Sunday Night Football versus Kansas City. Nwosu is good to go for Week 7, as expected. The linebacker failed to record a tackle for the first time this season in the team's Week 6 loss to the Broncos, and he figures to have plenty of chances to get back on track against the Chiefs.

  Rotowire Oct 25, 2026

  Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports that Nwosu (hip) is expected to be cleared to play against the Chiefs on Sunday. Nwosu popped up on Thursday's injury report as a limited practice participant due to a hip injury. His practice reps were restricted again Friday, but it looks like the veteran linebacker will be a go for Sunday night's contest. Nwosu has accumulated 15 tackles (nine solo), including 1.0 sacks, three pass defenses and one forced fumble through six regular-season games.

• Seahawks' Uchenna Nwosu: Nursing hamstring issue

  Rotowire Jan 21, 2026

  Nwosu (hamstring) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports. Nwosu played 29 defensive snaps in the divisional round versus the 49ers, and it's not clear when he hurt his hamstring. Either way, he'll probably have to participate fully at practice Thursday or Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

  Rotowire Nov 27, 2025

  Nwosu (ankle) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports. Nwosu was held out of Wednesday's practice due to an ankle injury, but his ability to return for Thursday's session is an encouraging sign.

• Seahawks' Uchenna Nwosu: Limited in practice Wednesday

  Rotowire Sep 3, 2025

  Nwosu (knee) was a limited participant in Seattle's practice Wednesday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports. Nwosu is seemingly still working his way back from knee surgery that caused him to miss the majority of the team's training camp. While the 28-year-old will look to be good to go for Sunday's season opener versus San Francisco, if he ends up being unable to play, Derick Hall and Connor O'Toole could be in line for increased playing time.

• Seahawks' Uchenna Nwosu: Participates in workout

  Rotowire Aug 21, 2025

  Nwosu went through a workout in full pads Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official website reports. Nwosu was reinstated from the active/PUP list Sunday after spending the beginning of training camp on the sidelines while recovering from offseason knee surgery. The linebacker didn't participate in Thursday's joint practice with the Packers, but it's still a positive sign that he was able to log reps in full pads on his own.

• Seahawks' Uchenna Nwosu: Underwent knee surgery

  Rotowire Mar 26, 2025

  Seahawks GM John Schneider said Wednesday that Nwosu required offseason knee surgery, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports. It was reported last week that Nwosu underwent some sort of surgery, but the nature of it wasn't known at the time after he dealt with various injuries last season. Nwosu has since agreed to a restructured contract to stay with the Seahawks after appearing in just six games during the 2024 campaign. Since turning in a career-high 9.5 sacks in 2022, Nwosu has played in just 12 regular-season games over the last two campaigns.

• Seahawks' Uchenna Nwosu: Full participant in walkthrough

  Rotowire Dec 24, 2024

  Nwosu (wrist) was listed as a full participant for Tuesday's walkthrough, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports. Nwosu has opened the week as a limited participant in Monday's walkthrough, but he upgraded to full participant Tuesday as he works through a wrist injury he likely picked up during the Seahawks' Week 16 loss to the Vikings. If Nwosu can log a full practice Wednesday, he would likely avoid an injury designation heading into Thursday's game against the Bears.

• Seahawks' Uchenna Nwosu: Estimated as limited Monday

  Rotowire Dec 23, 2024

  Nwosu (wrist) was a limited participant on Monday's practice estimate, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports. The Seahawks played the Vikings on Sunday, so the team didn't actually hold a practice a day later. Nonetheless, the veteran linebacker popped up on the injury report with a wrist injury, which puts him at risk of missing this Thursday's outing against the Bears. Nwosu's participation level in the next two days of actual practice should provide a better indication of his status for the TNF game.

• Seahawks' Uchenna Nwosu: Not quite ready

  Rotowire Nov 30, 2024

  Updating a previous report, Nwosu (quadriceps) will not return in Week 13 against the Jets, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports. While Nwosu was a full participant in Friday's practice, he's not ready to return to game action just yet. The veteran does appear to be nearing his first game action since Week 5, and he'll now set his sights on a potential Week 14 return at Arizona.

• Seahawks' Uchenna Nwosu: Placed on IR

  Rotowire Oct 10, 2024

  Nwosu (thigh) was placed on injured reserve Thursday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports. Nwosu will now be sidelined for at least the next four games as he nurses a thigh injury that was suffered during Sunday's Week 5 loss to the Giants. As a result, Trevis Gipson should see a bump in opportunity beginning with Thursday night's game against the 49ers.

• Seahawks' Uchenna Nwosu: Won't play in Week 6

  Rotowire Oct 7, 2024

  Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said Monday that Nwosu (thigh) has been ruled out for Thursday's matchup against the 49ers, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports. After missing the Seahawks' first four games of the season while recovering from a preseason knee injury, Nwosu made his 2024 debut in Sunday's loss to the Giants. He tallied three tackles over 20 snaps before sustaining a new injury that will keep him sidelined for at least one game. Dre'Mont Jones, Derick Hall (foot) and Boye Mafe (knee) will be the primary candidates to pick up snaps on the edge while Nwosu is out.

• Seahawks' Uchenna Nwosu: Still out Week 3

  Rotowire Sep 20, 2024

  Nwosu (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup with Miami, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports. Nwosu suffered a left MCL sprain in Seattle's preseason finale and hasn't yet been able to suit up in the regular season. He didn't practice in any capacity this week, so it's not surprising that he's been deemed out for Sunday. Derick Hall has been seeing increased work in Nwosu's stead, but Hall is questionable to play Week 3 due to a hip injury.

• Seahawks' Uchenna Nwosu: Not expected to play Sunday

  Rotowire Sep 11, 2024

  Nwosu (knee) won't play Week 2 against the Patriots, Corbin K. Smith reports. Nwosu is still recovering from a sprained MCL suffered in the Seahawks' final preseason game against the Browns. He was originally given a two- to six-week recovery timeline, which is just over two weeks old. Assuming he doesn't play Sunday, the USC product's next opportunity will be Week 3 against the Dolphins.

• Seahawks' Uchenna Nwosu: Dealing with knee issue

  Rotowire Aug 25, 2024

  Nwosu exited Saturday night's preseason win over the Browns with a knee injury and will undergo further testing, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports. "Not sure yet," coach Mike Macdonald said. "We'll probably know more in the next couple days." Following a career-best 9.5 sacks in 2022, Nwosu suffered a torn pec in Week 7 last season and missed the remainder of the year, finishing with just 2.0 sacks across six contests. Losing Nwosu for any length of time would be an issue for Seattle's pass rush.

• Seahawks' Uchenna Nwosu: Taking part in OTAs

  Rotowire May 22, 2024

  Nwosu (pectoral) participated in OTAs Wednesday, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports. Nwosu suffered a torn pec in Week 7 and missed the remainder of the season. He's already stated he expects to be a full participant for the start of training camp, and the veteran appears to be on track in his recovery. Nwosu tallied a career-best 9.5 sacks in 2022 and inked a three-year, $45 million extension last summer. He'll be counted on to help key Seattle's pass rush in his third season with the team in 2024.

• Seahawks' Uchenna Nwosu: Notches third two-sack game

  Rotowire Dec 6, 2022

  Nwosu posted four solo tackles, two sacks and a forced fumble in Sunday's 27-23 win over the Rams. Nwosu recorded his third two-sack performance in five weeks, and he has extended his career high to nine sacks in his first season with the Seahawks. His previous career high is five sacks, so this is a significant breakout for his fifth NFL season. At just 25 years old, Nwosu certainly has room to grow, but this has been an excellent season for IDP purposes.

• Seahawks' Uchenna Nwosu: Logs full practice Thursday

  Rotowire Sep 22, 2022

  Nwosu (shoulder) was listed as a full participant on the Seahawks' injury report Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports. Nwosu appeared to suffer a shoulder injury during Sunday's loss to San Francisco. The linebacker logged four tackles and one pass defended while he saw fewer snaps than in Week 1 potentially due to the issue. With Nwosu back at practice fully, it's likely his snap count will see an uptick Sunday against the Falcons.

• Seahawks' Uchenna Nwosu: Picks up injury

  Rotowire Sep 21, 2022

  Nwosu (shoulder) was listed as a limited participant on the Seahawks' injury report Wednesday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports. Nwosu is dealing with an unspecified shoulder injury following Sunday's 27-7 loss to the 49ers, in which he tallied four tackles and one pass defended. The 25-year-old did play a smaller percentage of his team's defensive snaps (71 percent) in Week 2 compared to Seattle's season opener (89 percent), though it's unclear if this was due to any physical limitations related to his shoulder. Nwosu signed a two-year, $20 million deal as a free agent with the Seahawks this offseason, and he figures to play a prominent pass-rushing role when healthy this season.
