The Seattle Seahawks – and the 12th Man – received rather unfortunate news on Tuesday morning. Rookie wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba underwent wrist surgery after injuring it during the preseason win over the Cowboys.
Although there is optimism JSN could still be ready for the regular season, a surgery to the wrist (you know, the body part the hand is attached to) at this point in the year is certainly less than ideal.
JSN’s injury will put Seattle’s wide receiver depth to the test, especially considering he was drafted to bolster it and the fact Dee Eskridge is serving a six-game suspension.
Below is an updated depth chart for Seahawks wide receivers, sans JSN and Eskridge:
- DK Metcalf
- Tyler Lockett
- Dareke Young
- Cody Thompson
- Jake Bobo
- Matt Landers
- Easop Winston Jr.
- John Hall
- Cade Johnson
- Justin Marshall
- Tyjon Lindsey
