Mandatory Credit: Steven Bisig-Imagn Images The Seattle Seahawks will place outside linebacker Uchenna Nwosu on injured reserve due to an ailing thigh, NFL Network reported Tuesday.
He sustained the injury during the Seahawks' 29-20 loss to the New York Giants on Sunday. The game was his first of the season after being sidelined by a preseason knee injury.
Nwosu, 27, signed with Seattle in March 2022 after spending his first four seasons with the Los Angeles Chargers, who selected him in the second round of the 2018 NFL Draft.
He started all 17 games during his first season with the Seahawks and put up career highs of 9.5 sacks, 66 tackles, three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries. He missed 11 games in 2023 with a pectoral injury.
In 86 career games (48 starts) between the Chargers and Seahawks, Nwosu has recorded 26.5 sacks, 217 tackles, 77 QB hits, eight forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries and one interception.
An IR stint means Nwosu will miss at least four games. He would be eligible to return for the Nov. 17 game at San Francisco.
