Onujiogu (undisclosed) reverted to Seattle's injured reserve Wednesday after going unclaimed on waivers, per the NFL's transaction log. It's unclear what injury Onujiogu is dealing with at the moment, but he'll be forced to miss the entire 2024 season after reverting to IR, unless he reaches an injury settlement with the Seahawks.
Onujiogu (undisclosed) was waived by the Seahawks with a failed physical designation Tuesday, John Boyle of the team's official website reports. Onujiogu was on the sidelines for the entirety of the 2023 season while nursing a tendon issue in his elbow, but it's unclear if the failed physical stemmed from that situation or something else. The 26-year-old will now look for his next opportunity elsewhere.
The Seahawks re-signed Onujiogu (elbow) to an exclusive rights contract Monday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports. Onujiogu missed the entire 2023 campaign due to a tendon issue in his elbow. He suited up for one game as an undrafted rookie in 2022. Now presumably back to full health, Onujiogu gets a chance to further his development with Seattle over the offseason, and to hopefully compete for a depth roster spot.
