Nick Emmanwori Out for Season Opener on Wednesday
Seattle Seahawks safety Nick Emmanwori (ankle) has been officially ruled out for the season opener on Wednesday night against the visiting New England Patriots in a Super Bowl rematch, according to Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network. Emmanwori is not ready to return to game action after having surgery on his right ankle in July. With safety Ty Okada (hamstring) also ruled out, the Seahawks will be without both of their starting safeties as they begin their defense of last year's Super Bowl championship, which is good news for Patriots quarterback Drake Maye and new wide receiver A.J. Brown. It remains to be seen if the 22-year-old Emmanwori will be ready to make his 2026 season debut in a Week 2 matchup on the road against the division-rival Arizona Cardinals next Sunday, Sept. 20. Emmanwori was a key contributor last year in a strong Seahawks defense, recording 81 total tackles (56 solo), 2.5 sacks, nine tackles for loss, one interception, and 11 pass breakups in 14 regular-season starts for Seattle.
