Seahawks rookie wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba will undergo surgery for a wrist fracture and miss approximately three to four weeks, according to coach Pete Carroll.
“He’s going to get surgery, and he’s with a hand specialist,” Carroll said. “Kind of a slight fracture that we just want to make sure we do that right thing to ensure that he gets back as soon as possible and as safe as possible. We’re going to be optimistic about it. Three, four weeks, we’ll see what happens.”
Smith-Njigba is just the latest Seahawks rookie to miss time with an injury. First-round pick Devon Witherspoon has spent the preseason dealing with a hamstring issue, while fellow 2023 draft picks Zach Charbonnet , Kenny McIntosh , Mike Morris , and Olu Oluwatimi have all dealt with injuries in training camp.Seahawks linebacker Jordyn Brooks participated in 11-on-11 drills Tuesday, his first on-field action since tearing the ACL in his right knee in Week 17 last season.
