Seattle, WA – The Seattle Seahawks have opted to avoid placing star pass rusher Uchenna Nwosu and backup tight end Pharaoh Brown on the injured reserve (IR) list. This decision suggests that the team remains optimistic about their potential returns within the designated window.
Nwosu, who suffered an MCL sprain, is expected to miss 2-6 weeks. While the Seahawks could have used the new IR rules to place him on the list without affecting their initial regular season roster, they have chosen to wait. This could indicate a belief that Nwosu’s recovery may be quicker than initially anticipated.

Pharaoh Brown, who sustained a foot injury, has also avoided IR placement. Cornerback Artie Burns, who was carted off the field in the preseason finale, was released without an injury designation. However, the Seahawks are likely to re-sign him soon as a vested veteran.
Head coach Mike Macdonald is scheduled to address the media on Thursday, providing further clarity on the injury situation. The Seahawks will need to assess the severity of these injuries and determine the best course of action for their roster.
