Activated from IR The Seahawks activated Nwosu (thigh) off injured reserve Thursday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

Impact Nwosu missed the first four games of the regular season due to a knee injury he suffered in the Seahawks' preseason finale. He returned for Week 5 against the Giants, but his return was short-lived as he suffered a thigh injury that was serious enough to warrant a stint on IR. Nwosu has been able to log full practices as of late, and now that he's off IR, he's on track to play against the Cardinals on Sunday. Nwosu's last full season was in 2022, when he logged 67 tackles (42 solo), including 9.5 sacks, four pass defenses, three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries across 17 regular-season games.

Logs full practice Wednesday Nwosu (quadriceps) was a John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site in Wednesday's practice, John reports.

Impact Nwosu was set to return from injured reserve for Week 13 against the Jets after logging a full practice Friday. However, the Seahawks opted to take the cautious route and kept him on IR for this past Sunday's game. Nwosu's full practice Wednesday indicates that the 2018 second-round pick is trending towards playing against the Cardinals on Sunday.

Not quite ready Updating a previous report, Nwosu (quadriceps) will not return in Week 13 against the Jets, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact While Nwoso 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.

Set to return for Week 13 Nwosu (quadriceps) was a full participant in Friday's practice and does not carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Jets, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio r...

Impact Nwosu has been on the Seahawks' injured reserve since straining his quadriceps in Week 5 against the Giants. He was designated to return from IR on Wednesday, and after starting the week with consecutive limited practices, Nwosu finished off strong with a full practice Friday. His lack of an injury designation indicates that the Seahawks should activate Nwosu off IR ahead of Sunday's game.

Limited Wednesday Nwosu (quadriceps) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact Nwosu's 21-day practice window to return from injured reserve opened Wednesday, and his limited participation was his first practice since suffering a quadriceps strain in Week 5 against the Giants. Nwosu will likely need to log multiple full practices before being reinstated off IR.

NOVEMBER 28 • ROTOWIRE

Designated to return from IR The Seahawks designated Nwosu (quadriceps) to return from injured reserve Wednesday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

Impact Nwosu has been on injured reserve since Oct. 10 after suffering a significant quadriceps strain in Week 5 against the Giants. While he will return to practice this week, head coach Mike Macdonald said Monday that Nwosu is not expected to play this Sunday against the Jets. Nwosu will thus focus on being ready for the Seahawks' Week 14 contest against the Cardinals on Sunday, Dec. 8. Since signing a three-year, $45 million extension with the Seahawks in July of 2023, Nwosu has played in just seven regular-season games due to multiple injuries.

Expected to practice this week Nwosu (quadriceps) is expected to return to practice this week, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The linebacker has been on injured reserve since suffering the injury in Seattle's Week 5 loss to the Giants. To open Nwosu's 21-day practice window, the Seahawks will need to designate him to return from IR. Even if that happens, Seattle coach Mike Macdonald does not expect him to be ready in time for Sunday's matchup with the Jets, per Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle.

Dealing with significant injury Nwosu (thigh) is dealing with a "pretty intense quad strain" according to Seahawks' general manager John Schneider, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact Nwosu was placed on injured reserve with a thigh injury Thursday, which is now understood to be a quadriceps issue. Schneider added that the linebacker is "going to miss some time here," so it's unclear if the minimum four weeks on IR will be enough. In the meantime, Trevis Gipson will likely see an increase in workload while Nwosu is unavailable, beginning on Thursday Night Football against the 49ers.

Placed on IR Nwosu (thigh) was placed on Seattle's injured reserve list Friday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

Impact Nwosu will now be out for at least four weeks as he nurses a thigh injury that was suffered during last Sunday's game against the Giants. As a result, linebacker Trevis Gipson should see some elevated opportunities as Seattle takes on the Rams this week.

Expects to go to IR Nwosu is expected to be placed on Seattle's injured reserve list as he nurses a thigh injury, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Impact The thigh issue Nwosu picked up during Sunday's game versus the Giants is evidently severe enough that it will probably keep him out for at least four weeks. In his stead, Trevis Gipson would be in line for an uptick in reps on the edge.

Impact Nwosu made his 2024 debut in Sunday's loss, playing just 20 defensive snaps before sustaining a new injury that's expected to hold him out of the Seahawks' Week 6 contest. The USC product was able to record three total tackles in his limited time on the field, and both Dre'Mont Jones and Derick Hall (foot) could see increased snaps with Seattle's first-team defense in Nwosu's stead.

Leaves game early Nwosu (thigh) has exited Sunday's game against the Giants.

Impact Nwosu was making his 2024 debut after missing the first four weeks due to a knee injury. Now, he's suffered a new injury, which has him questionable to return in the second half.

OCTOBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Past knee injury Nwosu (knee) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Giants, Corbin K. Smith of SI.com reports.

Impact Nwosu appears to be past his knee injury after logging back-to-back limited practice sessions Wednesday and Thursday. However, head coach Mike Macdonald told reporters Friday that Nwosu may not make his debut in Week 5, despite not having an injury designation, per Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune. If Nwosu doesn't suit up Sunday, expect Derick Hall to serve as Seattle's top weakside linebacker.

OCTOBER 4 • ROTOWIRE

Limited at walkthrough Nwosu (knee) was estimated to be a limited participant at the Seahawks' walkthrough Wednesday, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact Nwosu has been sidelined for the first four games of the season with an MCL sprain that he suffered in late August and he'll look to officially participate at practice Thursday. If he's forced to miss the team's Week 5 matchup with the Giants, Derick Hall and Tyrice Knight would be candidates to see extra snaps at linebacker.
