Seattle Seahawks outside linebacker Uchenna Nwosu will miss the rest of the season due to a torn pectoral that requires surgery. Nwosu was a key player for the Seahawks' defense, recording career-highs in sacks and tackles for loss in 2022. The team will have to rely on their rotation of outside linebackers, including Boye Mafe, Darrell Taylor, and rookie Derick Hall, to fill the void left by Nwosu. Safety Jamal Adams may also see an increased role in pass-rushing. In other injury news, wide receiver DK Metcalf could return this week, while Dee Eskridge and Dareke Young are expected to resume practicing soon.
