Nwosu Injured; Seahawks Trade for Gipson

Seattle Seahawks outside linebacker Uchenna Nwosu is expected to miss between two to six weeks due to a sprained MCL suffered during a preseason game against the Cleveland Browns. Nwosu was injured from a chop block by Browns guard Wyatt Teller, which drew a 15-yard penalty. The Seahawks are considering placing Nwosu on injured reserve, which would sideline him for at least four games. Nwosu, who had a career-high 9.5 sacks in 2022, also missed the latter part of last season due to a torn pectoral muscle. In his absence, players like Derick Hall and Boye Mafe are expected to see increased playing time. To bolster their defense, Seattle traded for outside linebacker Trevis Gipson from Jacksonville.
