Had offseason surgery
Nwosu (undisclosed) needed offseason surgery after dealing with knee, thigh and wrist issues during the 2024 season, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
It's unclear what type of surgery Nwosu needed or whether it was related to one of his in-season injuries. Dugar further reported that Seahawks GM John Schneider told the Seattle Sports radio station that it was "too early to tell" if the linebacker would begin training camp on the PUP list. Nwosu recorded 14 tackles (eight solo), including 1.0 sacks, and a pass defensed in six games last season.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2022
2021
Following a breakout 2022 season where Nwosu piled up 9.5 sacks and landed a three-year, $45 million contract, the veteran linebacker's season was marred by a pectoral injury that ended his season after six games. The 27-year-old has made a full recovery and is set up well to bounce back now that Boye Mafe has blossomed into a proven pass-rusher on the other side of the line. There's some risk that Nwosu's 2022 campaign was his peak, which could lead to Darrell Taylor and second-year LB Derick Hall to eat into his snaps. But it's more likely Nwosu is the real deal and can approach 10 sacks once again.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Looking to shine in new role
Nwosu feels that his new situation in Seattle is "Like a breath of fresh air," that will allow him to "really be able to shine and put my name out there," after four years in a limited role with the Chargers, Michael Baca of NFL.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The Seahawks certainly feel that Nwosu is ready to be a full-time starting pass rusher after signing him to a two-year, $20 million contract this offseason. The 25-year-old started to shoulder a larger role during his final season with the Chargers in 2021, starting 15 of 17 games and registering career highs with 40 tackles and five sacks while playing 744 defensive snaps. Nwosu has flashed the potential to be an effective pass rusher with 15 career sacks, but he will have the opportunity to show his overall versatility in new Seattle's newly implemented defensive system under first-year coordinator Clint Hurtt.
