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 weeks 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.

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 weeks 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.
Nwosu (thigh) was placed on Seattle's injured reserve list Friday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports. Nwosu will now be out for at least four weeks as he nurses a thigh injury that was suffered during last Sunday's game against the Giants. As a result, linebacker Trevis Gipson should see some elevated opportunities as Seattle takes on the 49ers this week.
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.
Head coach Mike Macdonald told reporters Monday that Nwosu (thigh) won't make it back in time for Thursday's matchup against the 49ers, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports. Nwosu made his 2024 debut in Sunday's loss, playing just 20 defensive snaps before sustaining a new injury that's expected to hold him out of the Seahawks' Week 6 contest. The USC product was able to record three total tackles in his limited time on the field, and both Dre'Mont Jones and Derick Hall (foot) could see increased snaps with Seattle's first-team defense in Nwosu's stead.
Nwosu (thigh) has exited Sunday's game against the Giants. Nwosu was making his 2024 debut after missing the first four weeks due to a knee injury. Now, he's suffered a new injury, which has him questionable to return in the second half.
Nwosu (knee) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Giants, Corbin K. Smith of SI.com reports. Nwosu appears to be past his knee injury after logging back-to-back limited practice sessions Wednesday and Thursday. However, head coach Mike Macdonald told reporters Friday that Nwosu may not make his debut in Week 5, despite not having an injury designation, per Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune. If Nwosu doesn't suit up Sunday, expect Derick Hall to serve as Seattle's top weakside linebacker.
Nwosu (knee) was estimated to be a limited participant at the Seahawks' walkthrough Wednesday, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports. Nwosu has been sidelined for the first four games of the season with an MCL sprain that he suffered in late August and he'll look to officially participate at practice Thursday. If he's forced to miss the team's Week 5 matchup with the Giants, Derick Hall and Tyrice Knight would be candidates to see extra snaps at linebacker.
Nwosu (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against Detroit, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports. Nwosu has missed the first four games of the regular season due to an MCL sprain he suffered in late August. With Boye Mafe (knee) also ruled out for Monday's game, Derick Hall and Dre'Mont Jones will both see more snaps with the first-team defense.
Nsowsu (knee) was listed as a DNP on the Seahawks' injury report Thursday, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports. Nwosu has yet to appear in a regular-season game due to a left MCL sprain he sustained in Seattle's preseason finale. He's at risk of missing a fourth consecutive game unless he's able to see the practice field in at least a limited capacity this week. Derick Hall (hip) has started at linebacker in Nwosu's absence, and the former has accrued nine tackles (five solo), including 3.0 sacks, over the first three games of the regular season.
