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.

Around 200 protest fatal ICE shooting in front of Seattle’s federal building

SEATTLE, Wash. – There were at least 200 protesters that showed up in Seattle Wednesday night in what speakers called an “emergency protest” in response to the fatal ICE shooting in Minneapolis Wednesday.

“We want justice, we want peace, we want justice, we want peace, we want ICE off our streets, we want ice off our streets…” they chanted.

After listening to speakers, protesters went on the march and circled the blocks near the Federal Building in Seattle.

Though the protest was organized on short notice, some protesters say they were compelled to come out Wednesday with urgency because they felt what happened in Minneapolis was a bridge too far.

What they’re saying:

“ICE has gone too far. We’ve felt this, we’ve known this for a long time. There have been people protesting,” said Raleigh Watts, protesting the ICE shooting. “We’ve been hearing the news. Today I came out because when I heard, it was my sign that a line has been crossed that I can’t stand anymore. So, I’ve come to say, ‘No ICE, you’ve gone too far’.”

“A lot of people out here are really, really angry, confused and sad, but I think we have what it takes to fight back,” said Sophia Van Beek, protesting the MN ICE shooting. “I’m certain there are going to be actions.”

Sophia says in order to make a difference, protesters need to create an actionable political program.

Members of law enforcement were in the area and helped to block off the streets during the protest and march. There were no clashes during this protest and it wrapped up at around 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday.

“I am proud of all the hundreds of people who have turned out tonight at the federal building in Seattle. I’m proud of the people who are in Tacoma that are protesting at the ice detention center and in Minneapolis and in cities across the country. This is not okay for ICE to kill somebody,” said Watts.

What’s next:

Some people at Wednesday’s demonstration said they were planning to organize more protests in the coming weeks.

Seattle groups join national protest against ICE raids following Minneapolis shooting

SEATTLE — Seattle activists are rallying to demand justice on Wednesday following the fatal shooting of a woman by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent in Minneapolis.

The Seattle Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression (SAARPR) and Seattle Against War (SAW) have organized an emergency press conference to protest the incident.

The event is scheduled for 6 p.m. Wednesday at the Henry M. Jackson Federal Building in Seattle.

The shooting occurred on Wednesday morning at the corner of 34th and Portland Avenue in Minneapolis. According to preliminary information, Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara said, the woman was sitting in her vehicle blocking the roadway when a federal law enforcement officer approached on foot. When the vehicle began to drive away, at least two shots were fired, and the vehicle crashed on the side of the road.

In response, emergency protests have erupted in Minneapolis and are expected to continue through Jan. 11.

The Seattle groups are joining the Legalization 4 All Network in calling for an immediate end to ICE raids and mass deportations.

They are also demanding justice and accountability for the woman who was killed, including the release of the name of the ICE agent involved and the names of all agents participating in such operations.
