Seattle Seahawks rookie wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba underwent surgery for a “slight fracture” in his left wrist after the team’s second preseason game against the Dallas Cowboys. There was concern that Smith-Njigba would not be ready for the season opener against the Los Angeles Rams, with the worst case scenario coming in the form of short-term IR (and missing the first four regular season games, minimum).
We already had encouraging news that he wouldn’t be placed on IR to start the regular season, but this footage of him participating in Tuesday’s practice is even better.
