Nick Emmanwori "Fully Expected" to Play in Super Bowl
Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said on Thursday that rookie safety Nick Emmanwori (ankle) is fully expected to play in Super Bowl LX on Sunday against the New England Patriots, but the team will be overly cautious with him going into the weekend to make sure he's fine after rolling his ankle in practice on Wednesday, according to ESPN's Jeff Darlington. The 21-year-old second-round pick was limited on Wednesday and is currently dealing with a low-ankle sprain. Emmanwori might be limited in practice the rest of the week, but it sounds like he's going to give it a go for the big game this weekend, which is great news for Seattle's secondary. In his first year in the NFL, Emmanwori totaled 81 tackles (56 solo), 2.5 sacks, nine tackles for loss, four QB hits, an interception, and 11 pass breakups in 14 regular-season games to put himself in contention to win Defensive Rookie of the Year.
