Seahawks outside linebacker Uchenna Nwosu passed his physical Sunday, clearing the way for his return from the physically unable to perform list.
Nwosu, who battled multiple injuries last season, had offseason knee surgery that general manager and president of football operations John Schneider referred to earlier this offseason as "a little cleanup of some sort… It was nothing major, but he had to get some stuff cleaned up."
Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald has not put a timeline on Nwosu's return during training camp, but has consistently praised the work the veteran pass rusher is putting in throughout the rehab process.
"No update on Chenna, but he's kicking butt," Macdonald said last week. "Matter of fact, he's going so hard that we've got to slow him down."
Nwosu, who signed with Seattle as a free agent in 2022, was one of the team's top defensive players during his first season and a half with Seattle before a pectoral injury cut short his 2023 season. In his one full season with Seattle, he had 9.5 sacks, 12 tackles for loss 26 quarterback hits, 66 tackles, four passes defensed, three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries. Nwosu returned from the pectoral injury prior to the 2024 season, only to suffer a knee injury in the preseason last year, then upon returning from the knee injury, he was sidelined by a thigh injury in his first game back.
Nwosu's return will give a big boost to an edge rotation that includes Boye Mafe, Derick Hall and veteran free-agent addition DeMarcus Lawrence.
