The Seattle Seahawks are thrilled to have their rookie wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba back on the practice field. After undergoing successful wrist surgery, Smith-Njigba is ready to resume his football career and contribute to the team.
Smith-Njigba was drafted by the Seahawks in the fifth round of the 2021 NFL Draft. He was a standout at Ohio State, where he caught 73 passes for 1,166 yards and 16 touchdowns in his collegiate career. His impressive performance earned him the Big Ten Receiver of the Year award in 2020.
Unfortunately, Smith-Njigba suffered a wrist injury during his final season at Ohio State, which required surgery. He was unable to participate in the 2021 NFL Combine or any of the Seahawks’ offseason activities due to the injury. However, he was able to make a full recovery and is now ready to get back on the field.
The Seahawks are excited to have Smith-Njigba back in action and believe he can make an immediate impact on the team. He has already made a strong impression on the coaching staff with his work ethic and determination. With his return, the Seahawks now have an even stronger receiving corps that could be one of the best in the league.
Smith-Njigba’s return is a welcome sight for the Seahawks and their fans. He is sure to make an impact on the team and help them reach their goals this season. The team is looking forward to having him back on the field and seeing what he can do.
