Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said Wednesday that Smith-Njigba (wrist) is slated to play Sunday against the Rams, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Smith-Njigba underwent surgery Aug. 24 to repair a slight fracture in his left wrist, but he was back on the practice field five days later and continued to take part in drills this Monday. Wednesday's injury report will reveal how much work the rookie first-round pick was able to handle in the first official session of Week 1 prep, but he's trending in a positive direction to be the Seahawks' No. 3 wide receiver behind DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett in the season opener.
