JAXON SMITH-NJIGBA NEWS

Jaxon Smith-Njigba is wide open on 28-yard TD pass from Geno Smith Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith connects with wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba on a 28-yard touchdown against the Arizona Cardinals.

Increased role on tap Smith-Njigba is in line for an elevated role in Sunday's contest against the Cardinals with DK Metcalf (ribs/hip) inactive, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Impact While Tyler Lockett also is active Sunday, he operated with a cap on his practice reps during Week 7 prep due to a hamstring injury, meaning Smith-Njigba is the healthiest among the Seahawks' top two available wide receivers. If Smith-Njigba's volume in the passing game increases, he'll be looking to build upon the 16-110-0 line on 25 targets that he's accrued through the first five games of his career.

OCTOBER 18, 2023 • SEATTLETIMES.COM

Best day as pro Smith-Njigba recorded four catches on five targets for 48 yards in Sunday's 17-13 loss to the Bengals.

Impact Smith-Njigba didn't see an expanded role, as he now has five or six targets in four of five games on the season. However, he did manage an 18-yard reception -- the longest of his career-- to produce his highest yardage output in a game on the campaign. Smith-Njigba will continue to work behind both DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett in terms of priority in the offense moving forward, but it was encouraging to see him deployed in a slightly more aggressive manner.
