Emmanwori Limited Wednesday Ahead of Cardinals

Seattle Seahawks safety Nick Emmanwori was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice with ankle and hip injuries, the club's first Week 2 injury report showed ahead of Sunday's trip to face the Arizona Cardinals. Seahawks.com senior reporter John Boyle posted the official board Wednesday afternoon, and the note that matters most for the secondary is Emmanwori getting back on the field after missing Week 1.
Emmanwori did not play in the opener. Wednesday was his first practice of the week, and limited is still a real step from out. The report lists him with both an ankle and a hip. Seattle has not stamped a Sunday designation yet. Thursday and Friday participation will decide whether he is trending toward active or toward another inactive.
Who else hit the Seahawks board
Wide receiver Tory Horton, also out in Week 1 with a hamstring, practiced fully. That is a separate green-flag track from Emmanwori's limited stamp. Guard Anthony Bradford (knee), tackle Josh Jones (knee), and receiver Cooper Kupp (back) were also limited. Cornerback Josh Jobe (wrist) was full.
Quarterback Sam Darnold did not practice and has already been ruled out for Week 2. Safety Ty Okada (hamstring) also did not practice after missing the opener. Those DNP lines are the known room, not the new story. The fresh Wednesday graphic for fans is Emmanwori limited and Horton full as Seattle builds toward Arizona.
IDP managers who stashed Emmanwori after the Week 1 scratch should treat Wednesday as progress without locking him into Sunday lineups until Friday's designations land. Streaming the next safety on the depth chart for one more week is the safer play if Thursday stays limited.
Cardinals at 4:25 p.m. ET
Seattle visits Arizona on Sunday, Sept. 20, at 4:25 p.m. ET. A healthier Emmanwori changes how Mike Macdonald can mix coverages and how much Julian Love has to shoulder in the middle of the field. A second straight inactive keeps the same Week 1 secondary math in place against a Cardinals offense that will test seams early.
Arizona's Wednesday board had its own list of DNPs and limiteds, including rest days for Budda Baker and Trey McBride. Cross-check both Friday reports before you overreact to one Wednesday stamp. The sourced Seahawks note today is Emmanwori limited (ankle, hip), Horton full, Week 2 at the Cardinals.
Limited is not cleared. Limited is not out. Watch Thursday.
Ankle and hip, limited. Arizona on Sunday. That is the Emmanwori board.
