Seahawks' Jaxon Smith-Njigba Expected to Play vs. Rams After Surgery on Wrist Injury

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll told reporters that he expects rookie wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who underwent surgery for a wrist injury last month, to play Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams.

The No. 20 overall pick suffered a broken bone in his left wrist during the Seahawks' Aug. 19 preseason game. However, Smith-Njigba was back on the practice field by the end of the month, and now it appears his quick recovery will lead to his NFL debut on Sunday.
