Uchenna Nwosu Fantasy

Seattle Seahawks linebacker Uchenna Nwosu (pectoral) needs season-ending surgery on his torn pectoral muscle, according to a source. Head coach Pete Carroll previously said "it looks like" Nwosu would need surgery on his pectoral. The 26-year-old linebacker suffered the torn pectoral muscle in the Week 7 win over the Arizona Cardinals and won't be able to return until 2024. The former second-rounder will finish his 2023 campaign with 16 tackles (12 solo), four tackles for loss, six QB hits and two forced fumbles in his second year in Seattle. With Nwosu out the rest of the way, Derick Hall will have a bigger role in the middle of Seattle's defense moving forward.

Seattle Seahawks edge rusher Uchenna Nwosu signed a three-year contract extension on Monday worth up to $59 million, according to his agents, Drew Rosenhaus and Ryan Matha. The deal also includes $32 million in guarantees. Nwosu signed a two-year, $19.055 million deal before last season, but he'll get an extension after having a career year last season. The 26-year-old pass-rusher had 66 tackles (42 solo), 9.5 sacks, 12 tackles for loss, 26 QB hits, four passes defensed, three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries in 17 starts in his first season with the Seahawks. Nwosu should once again be a key edge rusher for the team in 2023.

Linebacker Uchenna Nwosu is set to sign a two-year, $20 million deal with the Seattle Seahawks, according to his agent Drew Rosenhaus. The contract includes $10.5 million guaranteed. Nwosu was a second round pick of the Los Angeles Chargers in 2018 and he spent each of his first four seasons with the Chargers before hitting free agency this offseason. He played in all 17 regular season games last year and he was second on the Chargers in sacks with five. He also had eight tackles for a loss and 40 total tackles. He'll help bolster a linebacking crew in Seattle that just lost veteran Bobby Wagner.
