Perhaps one of the biggest storylines regarding the Seattle Seahawks’ initial 53-man roster is what didn’t happen.
With news coming on Monday that star pass rusher Uchenna Nwosu was likely to miss 2-6 weeks with an MCL sprain, expectation was that Nwosu would have a stint on injured reserve. Under the new rules, two players can be placed on IR with a return designation without having to make the initial regular season roster, so the Seahawks could’ve done that on Tuesday.
This isn’t to say Nwosu won’t just end up on IR on Wednesday or at any point in the next few days, but it’s certainly notable that he wasn’t put on an injury list.
