Safety Nick Emmanwori was a limited participant in Seahawks practice on Sunday, and the news comes with a heavy dose of mystery around his recovery. This is the first official injury report of the season, and it dropped after months of the team saying next to nothing about his offseason ankle surgery from way back in July.
The Emmanwori Ankle Watch Continues
Coach Mike Macdonald was asked about Emmanwori’s progress just a day before this report, and his answer was blunt: “Not really.” Talk about keeping things close to the vest, right? Still, Macdonald was quick to praise Emmanwori for his efforts, saying, “Nick’s been fantastic. Our training staff has been fantastic, and it wasn’t an easy situation for him. He’s done a great job to work through all of that.” That’s good to hear, but the limited status means the ankle is still a factor as the regular season gets going for our Hawks.
Who Else Is Hurting Heading Into the Season?
Emmanwori isn’t the only one on the mend for Seattle. Safety Ty Okada was a full non-participant in practice due to a hamstring injury, which is never what you want to see. We also saw guard Anthony Bradford (knee), receiver Tory Horton (hamstring), and tackle Josh Jones (quadricep) join Emmanwori in the limited participation group. On the brighter side, tight end A.J. Barner (oblique), cornerback Julian Neal (quadricep), and running back Emmanuel Wilson (hamstring) were all full participants. It’s a mixed bag early on, and every rep counts as we kick off what promises to be an epic season.
