The Seattle Seahawks released their second injury report of the week ahead of Super Bowl LX. While the Nick Emmanwori ankle injury was the main focus, the report also detailed the status of several other players. Most notably, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Leonard Williams, and DeMarcus Lawrence were all upgraded to full participants in practice, while only Charles Cross (foot) and Robbie Ouzts (neck) were limited. The team expects Emmanwori to play despite missing practice, but Ouzts' neck injury could keep him out of the big game.

Why it matters

Injuries are always a key storyline heading into the Super Bowl, as teams look to field their healthiest rosters possible for the championship game. The Seahawks' injury report provides insight into which players may be limited or unavailable, which could impact their game plan and chances of winning the title.

The details

The Seahawks' injury report showed most of their key players were either full participants in practice or had their status upgraded from the previous day. Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Leonard Williams, and DeMarcus Lawrence were all able to practice fully after being limited on Wednesday. The only players limited were Charles Cross with a foot injury and Robbie Ouzts with a neck issue. Head coach Mike Macdonald said Ouzts' neck injury needs more time to calm down before he can play, making him unlikely to suit up for the Super Bowl.

What they’re saying

“We've already been told by Macdonald that his injury needs to calm down before he can play again, and we haven't heard that yet.”

— Mike Macdonald, Seahawks Head Coach (SI.com)

What’s next

The Seahawks will continue to monitor the status of Robbie Ouzts' neck injury in the days leading up to the Super Bowl to determine if he will be able to play.

The takeaway

While the Nick Emmanwori ankle injury was the main focus, the Seahawks' injury report indicates the team is relatively healthy heading into the Super Bowl, with most key players expected to be available for the big game. The only significant concern is Robbie Ouzts' neck injury, which could keep the fullback sidelined.
