RENTON, Wash. – The Seattle Seahawks activated pass rusher Uchenna Nwosu from injured reserve on Thursday after a seven-game absence with a torn left thigh.
Nwosu has appeared in just one game this season for Seattle. A knee injury sustained in the team’s final preseason game against the Cleveland Browns on a questionable block from guard Wyatt Teller sidelined Nwosu for the first four games of the season. Upon returning to action against the New York Giants in Week 5, Nwosu played just 20 snaps before the thigh injury again took him out of the lineup.
“It’s been tough,” Nwosu said. “Pretty much my whole career I’ve dealt with little injuries there, but nothing that’s kept me out for this long.
“I feel like it’s really things that has kind of been out of my control, especially with the knee injury that I had. And then one thing leads to another, so who knows? Kind of just refiguring myself out and just trusting my process and knowing that I know my career is going to be great. I’m going to still be the same player I am and just continue to trust myself.”
Nwosu was critical of the play Teller made that injured his knee back in August.
“I thought it was dirty, straight up,” he said. “I didn’t like it. It’s preseason. We were going to be there like two drives. But, it’s football. I get it, it’s football at the end of the day. But, it was definitely a dirty play.”
Nwosu said that he’d have a problem with the block even if it wasn’t preseason, too.
“I know you’re allowed to cut, but the way you cut you can’t do it going back towards your own end zone, and that’s what he did to me, so that’s what made it dirty,” Nwosu said.
After he tore his thigh in October, doctors said the injury wouldn’t require surgery. It just meant he had a lengthy wait before he’d be able to return to action. Nwosu said he believes he’ll be ready to play as much as needed for the Seahawks in Arizona on Sunday.
“That’s what I’m preparing for. That’s a coach’s decision at the end of the day. That’s out of my control, but I’m preparing to be able to play,” he said.
Nwosu was also announced to be the Seahawks’ Walker Payton Man of the Year Award nominee on Thursday for excellence on the field and in the community.
“It means a lot. To be able to be recognized for everything that I’m doing is great, but still a lot of work to be done and just want to keep it going. But, definitely thankful, grateful, and just keep it going,” Nwosu said.
Roster Moves:
The Seahawks claimed wide receiver/kick returner Jaelon Darden off waivers from the Cleveland Browns on Thursday and waived cornerback/kick returner Dee Williams to open a roster spot.
Darden has spent four years in the NFL with stops with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Browns prior to his arrival in Seattle. He’s appeared in 31 career games with just a lone start this year with Cleveland. He has nine receptions for 75 yards as receiver, but most of his time has come as a returner.
He has 78 career punt returns for 760 yards, and 27 kickoff returns for 565 yards. He doesn’t have a fumble, which was the issue last Sunday in New York for the Seahawks with three total fumbles, two of which were lost, between Williams and Laviska Shenault Jr.
Shenault signed with the Los Angeles Chargers practice squad on Thursday after being waived by Seattle on Monday.

The St. Louis Blues are back in action as they host the Seattle Kraken on Thursday at Enterprise Center (7 p.m., FanDuel Sports Network Midwest, 101 ESPN).
It will be the team’s first game since Feb. 4, and Jim Montgomery said the squad is ready to get back to work.
“Yeah, I think everybody is,” the head coach said. “I mean, you can tell. Guys were anxious today, but it’s like ‘enough of practicing against each other, it’s time to play a game.’”
Captain Brayden Schenn, who missed Wednesday’s practice with an illness, took the morning skate and is expected to play. Dylan Holloway (ankle), who has played just one game since Dec. 12, will make his return to the lineup as well.
Robert Thomas has taken a leave of absence due to a personal matter. He’s expected to return to the team on Friday.
Additionally Jack Finley will make his Blues debut. Finley – who is the son of former Blue Jeff Finley and was born in St. Louis – was claimed off waivers by the team on Feb. 7.
“It was a dream of mine to play for this team,” Finley said. “It was a big part of my childhood, big part of my family’s life. So definitely full-circle moment and proud to be a Blue.”
Jeff, who played defense for the Blues from 1998-2004, will be in the building Thursday night to see his son don the jersey he wore for so many years.
“He was excited,” Jack said about his dad. “Maybe more excited than me. He loved this organization, loved this city… He’s excited to be back.”
