The Seahawks closed out preseason play with a 37-33 win over the Cleveland Browns, but now they await the injury status of a couple of important defensive players.
Outside linebacker Uchenna Nwosu came out of the game in the first quarter—starters played only one series—after a chop block, which drew a 15-yard penalty, resulted in a knee injury. Nwosu was attended to on the field by athletic trainers then was able to slowly jog off the field under his own power.
"Not sure yet," Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald said when asked about Nwosu. "We'll get it looked at tomorrow. We'll probably know more the next couple of days."
Macdonald said the same was true of cornerback Artie Burns, who left the game with a first-quarter foot injury.
The Seahawks are off Sunday then return to practice Monday, so an update from Macdonald isn't likely to come until then.
Macdonald also said that outside linebacker Dre'Mont Jones, who has been sidelined with a hamstring injury, could return to practice soon.
"It's looking positive," Macdonald said. "We're optimistic with Dre'Mont. We'll see this week how many reps he gets and how we ramp it up."
