The Seattle Seahawks have been dealt a blow with the news that rookie wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba has suffered a wrist injury. The injury occurred during the team’s practice on Tuesday and has put the young receiver’s season in doubt.
Smith-Njigba was drafted in the fourth round of the 2021 NFL Draft and was expected to be an important part of the Seahawks’ offense this season. He had been impressive in training camp and was expected to compete for a starting role.
The team has not yet released any details on the severity of the injury, but it is believed to be serious enough to keep Smith-Njigba out for an extended period of time. The team is currently evaluating the situation and will provide an update when they have more information.
The injury is a major setback for the Seahawks, who were hoping to get a big contribution from Smith-Njigba this season. It is unclear how long he will be out, but it is likely that he will miss at least a few weeks.
The Seahawks have already had to deal with injuries to key players this season, including running back Chris Carson and tight end Greg Olsen. They will now have to adjust their offensive game plan without Smith-Njigba in the lineup.
The team is hoping that Smith-Njigba will be able to return to action soon, but until then they will have to make do without him. It is a difficult situation for the rookie receiver, but the team is optimistic that he will be able to make a full recovery and contribute this season.
