Seahawks GM John Schneider said Wednesday that Nwosu required offseason knee surgery, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

It was reported last week that Nwosu underwent some sort of surgery, but the nature of it wasn't known at the time after he dealt with various injuries last season. Nwosu has since agreed to a restructured contract to stay with the Seahawks after appearing in just six games during the 2024 campaign. Since turning in a career-high 9.5 sacks in 2022, Nwosu has played in just 12 regular-season games over the last two campaigns.

Nwosu (undisclosed) needed offseason surgery after dealing with knee, thigh and wrist issues during the 2024 season, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear what type of surgery Nwosu needed or whether it was related to one of his in-season injuries. Dugar further reported that Seahawks GM John Schneider told the Seattle Sports radio station that it was "too early to tell" if the linebacker would begin training camp on the PUP list. Nwosu recorded 14 tackles (eight solo), including 1.0 sacks, and a pass defensed in six games last season.

Nwosu finished the 2024 season with 14 total tackles (eight solo), including 1.0 sacks, and a pass defensed across six games.

EDGE Analysis

Nwosu was limited by injuries again in 2024, dealing with a knee issue, a thigh injury and a quadriceps injury throughout the year. His 14 total takedowns this season were a career low, while he went without a forced fumble for the first time since the 2020 campaign. The linebacker has appeared in just 12 games over the last two seasons and he'll enter the final year of his contract with the Seahawks in 2025.

Nwosu (wrist) was listed as a full participant for Tuesday's walkthrough, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nwosu has opened the week as a limited participant in Monday's walkthrough, but he upgraded to full participant Tuesday as he works through a wrist injury he likely picked up during the Seahawks' Week 16 loss to the Vikings. If Nwosu can log a full practice Wednesday, he would likely avoid an injury designation heading into Thursday's game against the Bears.

Nwosu (wrist) was a limited participant on Monday's practice estimate, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Seahawks played the Vikings on Sunday, so the team didn't actually hold a practice a day later. Nonetheless, the veteran linebacker popped up on the injury report with a wrist injury, which puts him at risk of missing this Thursday's outing against the Bears. The coming days when Seattle actually has practice should provide a better indication of his status for the TNF game.

Nwosu recorded one tackle in Sunday's 30-18 win over the Cardinals, his first action since Week 5.

EDGE Analysis

The linebacker was activated off injured reserve Dec. 5 after missing seven games with a thigh injury. Nwosu also sat the first four games of the year with a knee issue. The seventh-year pro played on 20 snaps Sunday, the same amount that he saw in Week 5 against the Giants.

The Seahawks activated Nwosu (thigh) off injured reserve Thursday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nwosu missed the first four games of the regular season due to a knee injury he suffered in the Seahawks' preseason finale. He returned for Week 5 against the Giants, but his return was short-lived as he suffered a thigh injury that was serious enough to warrant a stint on IR. Nwosu has been able to log full practices as of late, and now that he's off IR, he's on track to play against the Cardinals on Sunday. Nwosu's last full season was in 2022, when he logged 67 tackles (42 solo), including 9.5 sacks, four pass defenses, three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries across 17 regular-season games.

Nwosu (quadriceps) was a John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site in Wednesday's practice, John reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nwosu was set to return from injured reserve for Week 13 against the Jets after logging a full practice Friday. However, the Seahawks opted to take the cautious route and kept him on IR for this past Sunday's game. Nwosu's full practice Wednesday indicates that the 2018 second-round pick is trending towards playing against the Cardinals on Sunday.

Updating a previous report, Nwosu (quadriceps) will not return in Week 13 against the Jets, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

While Nwoso was a full participant in Friday's practice, he's not ready to return to game action just yet. The veteran does appear to be nearing his first game action since Week 5, and he'll now set his sights on a potential Week 14 return at Arizona.

Nwosu (quadriceps) was a full participant in Friday's practice and does not carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Jets, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nwosu has been on the Seahawks' injured reserve since straining his quadriceps in Week 5 against the Giants. He was designated to return from IR on Wednesday, and after starting the week with consecutive limited practices, Nwosu finished off strong with a full practice Friday. His lack of an injury designation indicates that the Seahawks should activate Nwosu off IR ahead of Sunday's game.
