Seattle Seahawks Injury History & Analysis

Seahawks S Nick Emmanwori is active for today’s game against the Cardinals. It’ll be his first game action since summer ankle surgery. I’d avoid sticking him in IDP lineups before we see the role and how close to full strength he is

The Seahawks announced this week that S Nick Emmanwori will open training camp on the physically unable to perform list. When I read that, I just assumed they were being cautious with the ankle injury that made him questionable for the Super Bowl but didn't keep him from playing. But ESPN's Brady Henderson reports that the second-year safety had surgery on that right ankle and is "expected to miss some time," though they anticipate he'll be ready for the regular season.

Seahawks LB Ernest Jones is inactive for today's game against the Titans. It's a bit surprising after he played through the issue last week, but Jones' practice participation trended in this direction -- including a missed Friday workout. Seattle had already ruled out LB Tyrice Knight, so it looks like Chazz Surratt will run second at the position behind Drake Thomas. He'll be an uncertain bet for playing time, though. Don't be surprised if the Seahawks rely more on their deeper well of safeties.
