Seahawks' Nick Emmanwori: Questionable with new injury
Emmanwori (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Emmanwori appeared on Friday's injury report as a limited participant. The slot cornerback managed to partially practice through his knee issue, but it remains unclear if he will be able to play through it in Sunday's contest against the Chiefs. If Emmanwori cannot suit up, the Seahawks may pivot to more base defense to combat former Seahawk and reigning Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker's ground presence.

Seahawks' Nick Emmanwori: Notches sack in win
Emmanwori registered nine total tackles (eight solo), including 1.0 sacks, while also adding a pass defensed during Sunday's 30-23 win over the Chargers.
Emmanwori played a season-high 79 percent of the team's defensive snaps, and his production increased as a result. The safety was able to get to quarterback Justin Herbert in the fourth quarter for his first sack of the season, and his nine takedowns was tied with cornerback Devin Witherspoon for second on the team. Emmanwori has been working his way back to full strength after suffering an ankle injury in February, and Sunday's performance suggests that he's feeling pretty good.

Emmanwori (hamstring) returned to Sunday's game against the Commanders, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Seahawks' Nick Emmanwori: Questionable to return Sunday
Emmanwori is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Commanders due to a hamstring injury, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Emmanwori was expected to work in a larger role Sunday after having his snaps limited in Week 2 against the Cardinals in his first game back from offseason ankle injury. He's now working through a new issue, and while he's being evaluated by medical staff, the Seahawks will need to turn to the likes of Julian Neal, Maxen Hook and Nehemiah Pritchett to step into larger roles in the secondary, given that Ty Okada (hamstring) and Julian Love (calf) are both inactive.

Seahawks' Nick Emmanwori: 'Significantly higher' workload in Week 3
Emmanwori (ankle) will have a "significantly higher" workload in Week 3, Brady Henderson of ESPN reports.
Emmanwori made his 2026 campaign debut in the 31-7 win over Arizona in Week 2 after missing the opener while still working his way back from July ankle surgery, finishing with one solo tackle in nine defensive snaps. Although head coach Mike Macdonald didn't reveal exactly how much Emmanwori will play in Week 3 versus Washington, he stated that the nickel corner would "be out there a good bit."

Seahawks' Nick Emmanwori: Limited in return
Emmanwori recorded one solo tackle during Sunday's 31-7 win at Arizona.
In his first game back after undergoing surgery to address an ankle issue back in July, Emmanwori appeared to be on a relatively strict snap count, playing just eight defensive snaps. His snap share should expand as the season progresses, and he'll be hoping to get more work in Week 3 at Washington.

Seahawks' Nick Emmanwori: Good to go against Arizona
Emmanwori (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
Emmanwori was unable to play against the Patriots in Week 1 due to an ankle injury, but the second-year pro has been given the green light by medical staff to play in Sunday's NFC West tilt. He played a key role in the Seahawks' run to the Super Bowl last year and finished the 2025 regular season with 81 tackles (56 solo), including 2.5 sacks, and 11 pass defenses (including one interception) across 14 games.

Seahawks' Nick Emmanwori: Questionable for Sunday's contest
Emmanwori (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Emmanwori logged limited practices throughout Week 2 prep. The versatile slot cornerback is not healthy enough to avoid an injury designation heading into the weekend, but there is a good chance the second-year player could suit up to face the Seahawks' first divisional opponent of the season. If Emmanwori ultimately sits out another game, Nehemiah Pritchett will likely handle the slot cornerback role against Arizona.

Seahawks' Nick Emmanwori: Limited again
Emmanwori (ankle) was a limited participant in practice Thursday, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
The slot cornerback didn't play in the Seahawks' Week 1 win over the Patriots after practicing on a limited basis ahead of that contest as well. He is looking likely to at least enter the weekend with an injury designation. Emmanwori enjoyed a standout rookie campaign a year ago, recording 81 tackles (56 solo), including 2.5 sacks, and 11 pass breakups, including an interception, during the regular season.

Seahawks' Nick Emmanwori: Limited in practice Wednesday
Emmanwori (ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports
Emmanwori was unable to overcome his ankle injury and suit up for last Wednesday's 13-10 victory over the Patriots. The slot cornerback is one of the most important parts of coach Mike Macdonald's Seattle defense, meaning a potential return for Sunday's divisional contest against the Cardinals would be significant. Emmanwori will need to upgrade to full practice participation to dodge an injury designation ahead of the game.

Seahawks' Nick Emmanwori: Inactive for Week 1
Emmanwori (ankle) is inactive for Wednesday's game against the Patriots.
Emmanwori had been listed as questionable for Wednesday's opener, but the Seahawks will give him 11 more days to get ready for Week 2 against the Cardinals. With Ty Okada (hamstring) also out, Seattle is really thin on the back end at safety and slot cornerback. AJ Finley, Rodney Thomas, Nehemiah Pritchett, Julian Neal and Avery Smith are all candidates to see more playing time on defense.

Seahawks' Nick Emmanwori: Iffy to play in season opener
The Seahawks list Emmanwori (ankle) as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Patriots, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.
Emmanwori has been a limited participant in practice this week while he continues to work his way back from late July surgery on his right ankle. The Seahawks will re-evaluate Emmanwori early Wednesday before the team submits its inactive list approximately 90 minutes prior to the 8:20 p.m. ET opening kickoff. If Emmanwori ends up missing Week 1, Seattle would be down both its starting safeties, as Ty Okada (hamstring) has already been ruled out.
