Seahawks safety Nick Emmanwori, who sustained an ankle injury during practice on Wednesday, has been cleared to play in Super Bowl LX. Emmanwori was a full participant in Friday's practice and is officially off Seattle's injury report. The young defensive back, who turns 21 on Saturday, has been a significant contributor for the Seahawks this season.
Throughout 14 games played and 11 starts, Emmanwori accumulated 81 total tackles and one interception during the regular season. He has also made a strong impact in the postseason, breaking up four passes. His performance earned him recognition on the Pro Football Writers of America's All-Pro team. Emmanwori previously played collegiately for South Carolina, where he earned All-America honors.
The Seahawks are aiming for their second Super Bowl championship, having previously won in 2013. Their last appearance in the championship game was a narrow loss to the Patriots in February 2015. With Emmanwori healthy, Seattle's top-ranked scoring defense is at full strength for the upcoming Super Bowl.
