  • Reels in five passes

    Smith-Njigba caught five of six targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 37-31 overtime win versus the Lions.

    Analysis: Smith-Njigba exited the game briefly with what appeared to be a leg injury, per Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune. However, the rookie was cleared and finished tied for second on the team in targets with DK Metcalf. Smith-Njigba has connected on only short passes thus far, as his longest gain of the day was 16 yards. Nevertheless, it's promising that the first-round pick is getting targeted frequently through two weeks. It may be just a matter of time before he breaks out.

  • Targeted five times Sunday

    Smith-Njigba (wrist) finished with three catches (five targets) for 13 yards in Sunday's blowout loss to the Rams.

    Analysis: Smith-Njigba was bottled up like rest of the Seahawks' receiving corps minus DK Metcalf, who scored the team's lone touchdown Sunday. The positive takeaway for the rookie was his presence in the lineup and his usage (five targets tied for team lead) following wrist surgery just over three weeks prior to kickoff. Smith-Njigba appears to have a lock on the slot position in Seattle, and he could see extra targets against the Lions next week if Tyler Lockett (head) has lingering effects after…read more

  • No role limitations after surgery

    Coach Pete Carroll said Friday that Smith-Njigba won't have any limitations Sunday against the Rams despite have wrist surgery less than three weeks ago, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

    Analysis: Reports on a return timeline were all over the place after the rookie broke a bone in his wrist during a preseason game, and he ultimately made it back on the field in keeping with the most optimistic of estimates. Smith-Njigba was a full practice participant throughout the week and should quickly become one of the league's busier No. 3 receivers, even while sharing an offense with DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett.

  • Full practice Wednesday

    Smith-Njigba (wrist) practiced fully Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: Smith-Njigba has made a speedy recovery following an Aug. 24 procedure to repair a slight fracture in his right wrist. He returned to practice five days after having the procedure, and now a little more than a week later, he was able to handle every available rep in Seattle's first official Week 1 session. The rookie first-round pick thus is slated to be Seattle's No. 3 wide receiver behind DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett this Sunday against the Rams.

  • In line to play Sunday

    Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said Wednesday that Smith-Njigba (wrist) is slated to play Sunday against the Rams, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Smith-Njigba underwent surgery Aug. 24 to repair a slight fracture in his left wrist, but he was back on the practice field five days later and continued to take part in drills this Monday. Wednesday's injury report will reveal how much work the rookie first-round pick was able to handle in the first official session of Week 1 prep, but he's trending in a positive direction to be the Seahawks' No. 3 wide receiver behind DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett in the season opener.

  • Another practice logged Monday

    Smith-Njigba (wrist) participated in practice Monday, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Smith-Njigba has been handling on-field work for a little less than a week after undergoing surgery to repair a slight fracture in his left wrist on Aug. 24. The Seahawks aren't required to post their first Week 1 injury report until Wednesday, but the rookie first-round pick seems poised to be listed as limited, at the very least. The bigger question that remains is whether or not Smith-Njigba will do enough this week to gain clearance to make his pro debut in Sunday's season opener against…read more

  • Returns to practice Tuesday

    Smith-Njigba (wrist) took part in Tuesday's practice, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The 2023 first-round pick ran routes and caught passes in individual drills, albeit with a heavy wrap on his surgically repaired left wrist following last Thursday's procedure to address a slight fracture. As Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported Monday, Smith-Njigba will avoid injured reserve to begin the season, but his status for a Week 1 divisional matchup with the Rams remains up in the air.

  • Expected to start on active roster

    Smith-Njigba (wrist) is expected to avoid injured reserve and begin the regular season on the active roster, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Smith-Njigba's availability for Week 1 still looks uncertain, but beginning the year on IR would have forced him to miss at least the first four games of the season. Coach Pete Carroll said he hopes the rookie first-round pick's recovery is only a "3-to-4-week deal," per Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune, so there's some reason for optimism about his chances of getting on the field in the first month of the season. Smith-Njigba underwent surgery Aug. 24 to address a minor wrist fracture.

  • Has surgery, timetable TBD

    Smith-Njigba underwent wrist surgery Thursday but remains without a clear timetable for return, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Coach Pete Carroll said the surgery "went great" but didn't put a timeline on Smith-Njigba's return to the field. With the season just over two weeks away, it's difficult to envision the rookie out there for Week 1, but it sounds like we should expect to see him debut sometime in the season's first month. DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett will carry the bulk of the load in JSN's absence.

  • Slight fracture in wrist

    Coach Pete Carroll noted Tuesday that Smith-Njigba has a "slight fracture" in his wrist and is slated to see a specialist, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: The report notes that Smith-Njigba has yet to have surgery to address the issue, and at this stage it's uncertain if the 2023 first-rounder will be ready for Week 1 action. Per Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune, the Seahawks are holding out hope that it's a three-to-four week injury for Smith-Njigba, but right now the wideout's status for the team's Sept. 10 game against the Rams is cloudy.

  • Needs wrist surgery

    Smith-Njigba suffered a broken bone in his wrist during Saturday's preseason game against the Cowboys, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Smith-Njigba will undergo surgery Tuesday, but per Schefter he could still be available Week 1 against the Rams. The rookie first-round pick reportedly suffered the injury on a highlight-reel 48-yard catch which saw him brought down just shy of the goal line. Should Smith-Njigba miss any regular-season action, DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett would likely see an even bigger target share than usual.

  • Team-high receiving yardage tally

    Smith-Njigba brought in all three targets for 58 yards in the Seahawks' 22-14 preseason win over the Cowboys on Saturday.

    Analysis: The rookie first-round pick tied for the team lead in receptions while setting the pace in receiving yards. Smith-Njigba did most of his damage on a game-long 48-yard grab, which came on a pass from Drew Lock on Seattle's third possession and took the ball to the Cowboys' one-yard line. Despite the narrowly missed scoring opportunity -- DeeJay Dallas punched it in from one yard out on the next play -- it was a second straight successful exhibition showing for the Ohio State product, who also…read more

  • Three catches against Vikings

    Smith-Njigba caught three of four targets for 25 yards in Thursday's 24-13 preseason win over the Vikings.

    Analysis: Smith-Njigba was the only Seahawk with more than two targets in the first half and finished tied for the team lead in that category, as Seattle made a concerted effort to get the 2023 first-round pick involved while he was in the game. Most importantly, Smith-Njigba is healthy after a hamstring injury limited him to just three appearances in his final season at Ohio State. He projects to occupy the slot role while DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett (undisclosed) start on the outside in the regular…read more

  • Impressing early

    Smith-Njigba has impressed head coach Pete Carroll and quarterback Geno Smith with his route-running and hands, Gregg Bell of The News Tribune reports.

    Analysis: Smith-Njigba eased into the offseason program because he missed most of his junior season at Ohio State with a hamstring injury, but the rookie has been full go since mandatory minicamp in June. With DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett locked into the top two roles, Smith-Njigba was battling for the No. 3 spot. The first-round pick has seemingly won the job already after showcasing his hands, route-running and confidence through the first few practices. He was ultimately expected to win this role…read more
