Uchenna Nwosu’s return to the Seattle Seahawks didn’t last very long

Seattle Seattle linebacker Uchenna Nwosu made his 2024 season debut on Sunday and suffered yet another injury.

Nwosu sustained a thigh injury during the Seahawks’ 29-20 loss to the New York Giants on Sunday. Nwosu suffered the injury during the second quarter of the game. Nwosu came up limping after rushing quarterback Daniel Jones.

Seattle coach Mike Macdonald said Nwosu is out for Thursday’s Week 6 game against the San Francisco 49ers and seemed to suggest he could be out longer.

“We won’t get him back Thursday and then we’ll see here in the next few days if it’s going to be longer than that,” Macdonald told reporters on Monday.

Nwosu had missed the Seahawks’ first four games of the season with a MCL sprain he sustained during the Seahawks’ third preseason game. He was on the field for 20 snaps against the Giants, making two tackles.

Nwosu, who came to the Seahawks on a two-year, $19 million free agent deal in 2022, registered 9.5 sacks, 66 tackles, 26 quarterback hits and 12 tackles for loss in his first season with Seattle. Nwosu signed a three-year extension worth up to $59 million in July 2023, but he has plagued with injuries since then.

Nwosu suffered a season-ending pectoral injury in Week 7 of the 2023 season. The MCL sprain kept him out until Sunday and his appearance against the Giants was his first regular season play since Oct. 2023. Now he’ll miss the Seahawks’ game on Thursday and he could be out multiple weeks.

Projected Lineup: Feb. 26 vs. Seattle | St. Louis Blues

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.”
