Nick Emmanwori Injury News & Updates

Emmanwori registered eight tackles (six solo) during Seattle's 30-24 win over Tennessee on Sunday.

Emmanwori played 74 of 76 defensive snaps (97.4 percent) and finished tied with Patrick O'Connell for the second most tackles on the Seahawks behind Drake Thomas (10). Emmanwori has logged at least five stops in five of his last seven games, and over that span he has accumulated 42 tackles (28 solo), including 0.5 sacks, and seven pass defenses.

Emmanwori recorded three tackles (two solo) and a pass defensed during Sunday's 21-19 loss against the Rams.

Emmanwori was on the field for the fewest defensive snaps (47) he's played since Week 5, and his production was predictably limited as a result. He might spend a lot more time in coverage in Week 12 against the Titans, who sport one of the most pass-heavy offenses in the league.

Emmanwori tallied nine tackles (five solo), including 0.5 sacks, and four defensed passes Sunday in a 44-22 win against the Cardinals.

Emmanwori was all over the place Sunday, leading Arizona in stops and racking up four pass breakups. Among his tackles was an assisted sack of Jacoby Brissett on the first play of the second quarter. Since returning from an ankle injury in Week 5, Emmanwori has recorded 31 tackles and six defensed passes over five contests.

Emmanwori posted nine tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 20-12 win over Jacksonville.

Emmanwori tied with Drake Thomas for the team leads in tackles. Emmanwori logged a season-high 94 percent defensive snap share for a banged-up Seahawks secondary that was without starters Riq Woolen (concussion), Devon Witherspoon (knee) and Julian Love (hamstring).

Emmanwori (ankle) was a full participant at practice Thursday, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

Emmanwori opened the week as a limited participant at practice Wednesday, but he was quickly able to log a full session one day later. The safety is now all set to operate in his starting role against the Jaguars on Sunday.

Emmanwori (ankle) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Emmanwori has dealt with an ankle injury for most of the season, though he earned a 63 percent defensive snap share in Week 5. His return to the injury report could just be a precaution, but his participation in practice for the rest of the week will be worth monitoring.

Emmanwori recorded five tackles (four solo) during Sunday's 38-35 loss versus the Buccaneers.

After starting slot cornerback Riq Woolen left Sunday's contest with a concussion, Emmanwori was thrown into the fire, playing a season-high 36 defensive snaps. His role come Week 6 at Jacksonville could depend largely on the availability of Woolen, and he's not an IDP consideration in most formats regardless.

Emmanwori (ankle) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Emmanwori hasn't played since Week 1 against the 49ers, but his return to full practice should put the second-round rookie safety in line to play Sunday against the Bucs. He's expected to operate as the third safety behind Julian Love (hamstring) and Coby Bryant.

Emmanwori (ankle) is inactive for Thursday's game against the Cardinals.

As expected, Emmanwori will miss a third straight game due to an ankle injury that he suffered against the 49ers in Week 1. He'll continue to rehab from his injury and aim to return for the Seahawks' Week 5 clash against the Buccaneers on Sunday, Oct. 5. Ty Okada will continue to play a prominent role in the secondary in Emmanwori's absence.

Emmanwori (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Thursday's game against the Cardinals, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Emmanwori is trending towards missing a third consecutive game due to an ankle injury that he picked up during the Seahawks' Week 1 loss to the 49ers. Ty Okada should continue to play a bigger role in the Seahawks' if Emmanwori is indeed ruled out for Thursday's NFC West tilt.

Emmanwori (ankle) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's estimated injury report, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Emmanwori has been sidelined for the team's last two contests while nursing an ankle injury, and he will have two more chances to log a full practice before Thursday's matchup with the Cardinals. If he's unable to go again in Week 4, D'Anthony Bell and Ty Okada would likely see an increase in workload again.

Emmanwori (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against New Orleans.

Emmanwori will miss a second consecutive week due to a high-ankle sprain, though the good news was that he was able to practice in a limited capacity Friday. With Emmanwori and Julian Love (hamstring) both out, D'Anthony Bell and Ty Okada are the top candidates to start alongside Coby Bryant at safety.

Emmanwori (ankle) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Saints, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

With Julian Love (hamstring) also doubtful, Ty Okada will likely be thrust into the starting lineup at safety. Jerrick Reed and D'Anthony Bell are also options on the Seahawks' practice squad.

Emmanwori (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 2 matchup against Pittsburgh, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Emmanwori suffered a high-ankle sprain in Sunday's Week 1 loss to San Francisco, and given the nature of the injury, it's no surprise he's not going to play Week 2. Head coach Mike Macdonald mentioned Wednesday that an IR stint is a possibility for Emmanwori, though the team is still waiting to make a decision on whether such a move is needed. With Emmanwori out for at least Week 2, Ty Okada could see a larger workload in the Seahawks' secondary.

Head coach Mike Macdonald said Wednesday that the Seahawks will wait until the end of the week before deciding whether to place Emmanwori (ankle) on injured reserve, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Emmanwori suffered a high-ankle sprain during the Seahawks' Week 1 loss to the 49ers. The severity of the injury likely means he won't play Sunday against the Steelers, and a stint on the IR would require the rookie second-rounder to miss at least four games. If Emmanwori is placed on IR before Week 2, that would make Week 6 against the Jaguars on Sunday, Oct. 12 the earliest he could return.

Emmanwori is dealing with a high-ankle sprain and is considered week-to-week, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Emmanwori hurt his ankle early in Sunday's Week 1 loss to San Francisco. He briefly returned but ended up playing just five total snaps (four on defense and one on special teams). Emmanwori's diagnosis of a high-ankle sprain puts his status for Week 2 in serious doubt, and a move to IR isn't off the table, per Dugar.

Head coach Mike Macdonald said Monday that the team does not have a timetable for Emmanwori's recovery from an ankle injury that he suffered in Sunday's 17-13 loss to the 49ers, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Emmanwori went to the locker room early in the first quarter, and while he was able to return for the second, he finished Sunday's game with just five snaps (four on defense, one on special teams) and one solo tackle. A lack of a timetable doesn't bode well for the rookie second-rounder's chances of suiting up for the Seahawks' Week 2 bout against the Steelers. Ty Okada would likely serve as Seattle's backup safety behind Coby Bryant and Julian Love if Emmanwori is unable to play.

Emmanwori (ankle) has returned for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.

Emmanwori went to the locker room early in the first quarter due to an ankle injury. The injury doesn't appear to be severe as he was back on the field for the Seahawks' kickoff coverage early in the second frame.

Emmanwori is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the 49ers due to an ankle injury.

Emmanwori appeared to suffer the injury after teammate DeMarcus Lawrence rolled up on the former's ankle early in the first quarter. Emmanwori attempted to run on the sidelines but was eventually taken to the locker room by trainers to undergo further tests to evaluate the the severity of the injury. Ty Okada is slated to see more rotational snaps at safety for as long as Emmanwori is out of the game.

Emmanwori is practicing at safety, nickel corner and outside linebacker, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

Head coach Mike Macdonald compared Emmanwori to Ravens safety Kyle Hamilton and Seahawks legend Kam Chancellor on draft night, and the drumbeat continues in training camp with the 220-pound safety showing an ability to line up all across the formation, even taking a few snaps at inside linebacker. The rookie second-round pick is living up to the hype with multiple interceptions and disruptive plays in the backfield during team drills this week. If it translates to real games, this Seahawks defense could be a force this season with a secondary that already features Devon Witherspoon and Riq Woolen in addition to a bevy of productive pass rushers. Our first chance to see him in live action is Thursday's preseason game versus the Raiders.

The Seahawks selected Emmanwori in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 35th overall.

Emmanwori (6-foot-3, 220 pounds) proved himself one of the most athletic defenders in recent memory with a 4.38-second 40-yard dash, 43-inch vertical jump and 138-inch broad jump while otherwise standing out at safety for South Carolina. Emmanwori was a highly productive three-year starter and could be an impact defender in the NFL, though the Seahawks already have two competent safeties in Julian Love and Coby Bryant.
