Seahawks HC Pete Carroll said OLB Uchenna Nwosu will likely require surgery on his pec injury which will end his season, via John Boyle.
Nwosu has been one of the team’s best defenders off of the edge. Losing him will be a huge blow to the defense.
Adam Schefter confirmed on Monday night that Nwosu will in fact need season-ending surgery.
Nwosu, 26, is a former second-round pick by the Chargers in the 2018 NFL Draft out of USC. He finished the final year of his four-year, $5.75 million rookie contract when the Seahawks signed him a two-year, $20 million deal.
From there, Seattle re-signed him to a three-year, $59 million extension this offseason.
In 2022, Nwosu appeared in all 17 games for the Seahawks. He finished the season with 66 tackles, including 12 tackles for loss, 9.5 sacks, three forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries and four passes defended.
