The Seattle Seahawks have suffered a major blow to their secondary with the loss of Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Smith-Njigba was a highly touted rookie cornerback who was expected to make an immediate impact in the Seahawks’ secondary. Unfortunately, he suffered a season-ending ACL tear during practice and will miss the entire 2021 season.
The loss of Smith-Njigba is a huge blow to the Seahawks’ secondary. He was expected to be a key contributor in the defensive backfield and his absence leaves a huge void. The Seahawks will now need to rely on veterans like Shaquill Griffin and Quinton Dunbar to lead the way in the secondary.
The Seahawks will also need to look for other options to fill the void left by Smith-Njigba. They may look to free agency or the draft to find a suitable replacement. However, it is unlikely that they will be able to find someone who can match Smith-Njigba’s potential.
