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.

Seahawks' Uchenna Nwosu: Logs full practice Wednesday
Nwosu (thigh) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Nwosu looked on track to return from injured reserve for this past Sunday's win over the Jets after logging a full practice Friday, but the Seahawks ultimately took a cautious approach with him and didn't activate him from IR. If Nwosu is able to continue to string together full practices this week, he should have a better chance at playing this Sunday at Arizona.

Seahawks' Uchenna Nwosu: 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.
While Nwosu 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.

Seahawks' Uchenna Nwosu: 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 reports.
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 will activate Nwosu off IR ahead of Sunday's game.

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

Seahawks' Uchenna Nwosu: 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.
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.

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

Seahawks' Uchenna Nwosu: 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.
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 games 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.

Seahawks' Uchenna Nwosu: Placed on IR
Nwosu (thigh) was placed on injured reserve Thursday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Nwosu will now be sidelined for at least the next four games as he nurses a thigh injury that was suffered during Sunday's Week 5 loss to the Giants. As a result, Trevis Gipson should see a bump in opportunity beginning with Thursday night's game against the 49ers.

Seahawks' Uchenna Nwosu: 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.
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.

Seahawks' Uchenna Nwosu: Won't play in Week 6
Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said Monday that Nwosu (thigh) has been ruled out for Thursday's matchup against the 49ers, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
After missing the Seahawks' first four games of the season while recovering from a preseason knee injury, Nwosu made his 2024 debut in Sunday's loss to the Giants. He tallied three tackles over 20 snaps before sustaining a new injury that will keep him sidelined for at least one game. Dre'Mont Jones, Derick Hall (foot) and Boye Mafe (knee) will be the primary candidates to pick up snaps on the edge while Nwosu is out.
