Seahawks DB Emmanwori out for camp post-ankle surgery
23 Jul
Summary
- Emmanwori underwent offseason ankle surgery following multiple injuries.
- He was placed on the Physically Unable to Perform list.
- Seahawks anticipate his return for the September 9 season opener.
Seattle Seahawks defensive back Nick Emmanwori will start training camp on the sidelines while he recovers from ankle surgery performed earlier this month. This procedure addresses a sprain he sustained before Super Bowl LX. Despite landing on the Physically Unable to Perform list, the Seahawks expect Emmanwori to be healthy for the team's season opener on September 9 against the New England Patriots.
Emmanwori, a second-round pick in 2025, dealt with two right ankle injuries during his rookie season. He suffered a high sprain in the season opener, missing subsequent games, and later a low sprain shortly before the Super Bowl, which he played through. The team is taking a cautious approach to ensure he is fully recovered for his second NFL season, viewing him as a vital part of their "Dark Side" defense due to his versatility.
