Seattle Seahawks rookie wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba is having surgery to repair a broken bone in his wrist.
, Smith-Njigba broke the bone in his wrist on his 48-yard reception in the second quarter of Saturday night's game against the Dallas Cowboys.
Smith-Njigba appeared to have injured his left wrist bracing against the ground when he was tackled at the 1-yard line by Cowboys cornerback Eric Scott Jr. Smith-Njigba leads the team in catches this preseason with six receptions for 83 yards in preseason games against Dallas and the Minnesota Vikings. The No. 20 overall pick out of Ohio State has been impressive throughout training camp for the Seahawks and appeared primed to play a big role in Seattle's passing game alongside DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett. Depending on the length of recovery from the surgery, the Seahawks may have to begin the year without him.
"He's got this adductor thing that he's got to get looked at seriously. We might have to get it fixed," Carroll said.
