What’s Happening with Uchenna Nwosu?

The standout outside linebacker Uchenna Nwosu has been placed on injured reserve due to a troubling thigh injury. Seahawks' defensive coordinator Mike Macdonald provided insights, indicating that while there's hope for a return before season's end, reports suggest that the injury could sideline Nwosu for anywhere between 6 to 10 weeks. This development could drastically impact the Seahawks' defensive strategies in upcoming games. Fans are left wondering: how will this affect the team’s play against fierce rivals?

Roster Changes: Who's In and Who's Out?

In addition to Nwosu’s unfortunate setback, guard/tackle McClendon Curtis has been waived, potentially returning to the practice squad if he clears waivers. Meanwhile, the signing of veteran cornerback Artie Burns marks an essential strategic addition. Burns, who has seen action on the active roster for the second consecutive year after starting on the practice squad, fills a critical need for depth in the secondary given Riq Woolen’s current absence. Having originally made his mark as an outside corner, he has since shifted into a slot defender role, ready to bolster the team’s defensive capabilities.

A Fresh Face on the Defensive Line

The Seahawks also welcomed nose tackle Cameron Young to the active roster for the first time this season. After beginning on the PUP list with a knee injury, Young's return injects much-needed size and strength into the interior of the defensive line, making his timing particularly beneficial. Head coach Pete Carroll and the coaching staff are optimistic about the impact he can have, especially as the season heats up.
