All signs are pointing to an end to Seahawks linebacker Uchenna Nwosu’s season due to a pectoral injury suffered in Sunday’s 20-10 win over the Arizona Cardinals. The sixth-year linebacker had another stellar year with the Seahawks when the unfortunate injury occurred during the team’s win over the Arizona Cardinals.
“He’s got a pec injury that’s probably going to require surgery. That’s what we’re hearing right now.” “We’ve had a rotation going the whole time and we’ll just continue that. It challenges it though. Said head coach Pete Carroll “ Chenna (Nwosu) is a fantastic football player and a great team member. He’s such a tough guy such a heady player and so consistent. He’s always really physical so he always sends the right message. We’ll really miss him”
Nwosu signed with the Seahawks prior to the 2022 season and played spectacularly recording career highs with 9.5 sacks, 12 tackles for loss, 26 quarterback hits and 66 tackles on his way to being a Pro Bowl alternative. This season Nwosu had 2.0 sacks, four tackles for loss and six quarterback hits.
A PILLAR OF THE DEFENSE
“He’s one of the real pillars of this thing and it’s going to be hard to not have him. He has a great voice, and they listen to him. He doesn’t say a lot, but when he does, he’s strong and firm; that’s leadership. We’re going to miss that. There’s really no way to replace that, he’s too unique, other guys will have to add what they can bring. We’re going to really miss Chenna (Nwosu). The void left by Nwosu mean’s some one or some people will have to step up and meet the challenge. The obvious choices are Boye Mafe who currently starts opposite Nwosu Darrell Taylor and rookie Derick Hall.
