Seahawks' Uchenna Nwosu: Sees increased work Week 4
Nwosu logged five tackles (three solo) during the Seahawks' 23-20 win over the Cardinals on Thursday.
Nwosu served in a rotational role at linebacker in the two games entering Thursday's NFC West bout. However, he played a season-high 38 snaps on defense, most of which came after DeMarcus Lawrence left the game due to a thigh injury that he suffered late in the first quarter. Nwosu would be in line to start in Week 5 against the Buccaneers on Sunday, Oct. 5 if Lawrence is unable to play.

Seahawks' Uchenna Nwosu: Logs full practice Wednesday
Nwosu (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Nwosu spent the offseason recovering from knee surgery in March. He was unable to play in the preseason and was ruled out for Week 1 against the 49ers, but his ability to log a full practice Wednesday indicates that he is on track to play against the Steelers on Sunday. Nwosu was limited to just six regular-season games in 2024 due to multiple lower-body injuries and finished with 14 tackles (eight solo), including 1.0 sacks, and a pass defense.

Seahawks' Uchenna Nwosu: Missing Week 1
Nwosu (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's contest against the 49ers, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
Nwosu opened the Seahawks' week of practice with consecutive limited sessions, but it now appears his knee injury will sideline him in Week 1. The veteran edge rusher has struggled with injuries over the past two seasons, missing 22 of Seattle's 34 regular-season contests. His next opportunity to take the field will come in Week 2 when the Seahawks visit the Steelers.

Seahawks' Uchenna Nwosu: Limited in practice Wednesday
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
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: Set to be activated from PUP
Nwosu (knee) passed his physical Sunday and is on track to being reinstated from the Seahawks' active/PUP list this week, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Nwosu opened training camp on the PUP list while recovering from offseason knee surgery, but he is poised to start practicing as training camp winds down. He's unlikely to play in Saturday's preseason finale against the Packers, but the 2018 second-rounder is on track to being available for Week 1 against the 49ers on Sunday, Sept. 7. Nwosu appeared in just six regular-season games in 2024 due to separate lower-body injuries and finished with 14 tackles (eight solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one pass defense.

Seahawks' Uchenna Nwosu: Not close to returning
Nwosu (knee) is not expected to be ready to practice anytime soon, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
Nwosu was placed on the active/PUP list Thursday as he continues to recover from offseason knee surgery, but he's not close to returning to action apparently. Head coach Mike Macdonald implied Wednesday that the linebacker could be sidelined into the regular season, saying that the linebacker will be out "probably throughout the rest of camp and then we'll go from there." Nwosu dealt with a series of injuries in 2024, including knee, thigh and wrist issues, and the team will likely ensure he's back to full strength before he returns to practice.

Seahawks' Uchenna Nwosu: Moves to active/PUP list
Nwosu (knee) was placed on the active/PUP list by the Seahawks on Thursday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Once he's ready to resume practice, Nwosu can return from the PUP list at any time throughout training camp and the preseason. The outside linebacker dealt with knee, thigh and wrist issues during the 2024 campaign and then had offseason surgery on his knee. Between those issues and a pectoral injury in 2023, Nwosu has played in just 12 games in the last two years since recording career highs in tackles (67 total, 42 solo), sacks (9.5), pass breakups (four), forced fumbles (three) and fumble recoveries (two) in 2022.

Seahawks' Uchenna Nwosu: Underwent knee surgery
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: Had offseason surgery
Nwosu (undisclosed) needed offseason surgery after dealing with knee, thigh and wrist issues during the 2024 season, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
It's unclear what type of surgery Nwosu needed or whether it was related to one of his in-season injuries. Dugar further reported that Seahawks GM John Schneider told the Seattle Sports radio station that it was "too early to tell" if the linebacker would begin training camp on the PUP list. Nwosu recorded 14 tackles (eight solo), including 1.0 sacks, and a pass defensed in six games last season.

Seahawks' Uchenna Nwosu: Limited by injuries in 2024
Nwosu finished the 2024 season with 14 total tackles (eight solo), including 1.0 sacks, and a pass defensed across six games.
Nwosu was limited by injuries again in 2024, dealing with a knee issue, a thigh injury and a quadriceps injury throughout the year. His 14 total takedowns this season were a career low, while he went without a forced fumble for the first time since the 2020 campaign. The linebacker has appeared in just 12 games over the last two seasons and he'll enter the final year of his contract with the Seahawks in 2025.

Seahawks' Uchenna Nwosu: Full participant in walkthrough
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
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: Comes back, makes tackle
Nwosu recorded one tackle in Sunday's 30-18 win over the Cardinals, his first action since Week 5.
The linebacker was activated off injured reserve Dec. 5 after missing seven games with a thigh injury. Nwosu also sat the first four games of the year with a knee issue. The seventh-year pro played on 20 snaps Sunday, the same amount that he saw in Week 5 against the Giants.

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