SeahawksNick Emmanwori Has Low Ankle Sprain From Practice; Coach Expects Him to Play

Seattle plans imaging followed by a light walkthrough to set his workload for the coming days.

Overview

  • Emmanwori injured his ankle defending a pass late in Wednesday’s Super Bowl practice, walked off under his own power, and was listed as limited.
  • Head coach Mike Macdonald described the diagnosis as a low ankle sprain, said the rookie will do Thursday’s walkthrough, and expressed confidence he will play Sunday.
  • Imaging was ordered to determine severity, with the team set to update his status on the next injury report.
  • Video showed Emmanwori limping back to the team hotel without a boot, and teammate Coby Bryant offered reassurance by saying, “Yeah, yeah he’s good.”
  • Medical analysts noted he could be very limited even if active, a concern given his earlier-season high‑ankle sprain and his central, multi‑role importance to Seattle’s defense.
