RENTON, Wash. -- The Seattle Seahawks activated outside linebacker Uchenna Nwosu off injured reserve Thursday, clearing the way for the team's best edge defender to return Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals from his second significant injury of the season.
The first one, Nwosu feels, was the result of a "dirty play."
On the opening drive of the Seahawks' preseason finale against the Cleveland Browns, Nwosu suffered a sprained MCL after right guard Wyatt Teller dove at his left knee on a cut block. Nwosu had been flagged for roughing the passer one play earlier for a hit on Jameis Winston.
