Nick Emmanwori Exits Practice, Seahawks Seeking ‘Next Steps’ as Super Bowl LX Approaches

Just four days before taking the field for Super Bowl LX, the Seattle Seahawks could potentially be down one of their top playmakers on defense against the New England Patriots.

Hours after speaking with reporters during Wednesday’s media scrum, per PFWA pool reporter Kalyn Kahler, Seahawks safety Nick Emmanwori left midway through practice after injuring his ankle while attempting to defend a pass. The report indicates coaches and teammates came over to console the rookie defender as he walked off the field on his own and he did not return, receiving a limited designation on the practice report.

“He had an ankle today, we brought him in to look at it,” Macdonald told Kahler. “And we’ll kind of go from here and figure out what are the next steps?”

Seahawks’ Abraham Lucas Livin’ the Super Bowl Dream

One of Abraham Lucas’ first football memories comes from almost exactly 20 years ago.

At seven years old, he watched the Seattle Seahawks play in Super Bowl XL in Everett, wishing — like many kids — he could play in the big game someday.

People often say “Livin’ the dream” with sarcasm when asked how their work days are going.

Now a 6-6, 322-pound right tackle for the Seahawks, the Archbishop Murphy High School graduate truly is leaving that dream. On Sunday, “someday” arrives, and Lucas will start on Seattle’s offensive line against the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LX at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.

Riq Woolen, Seahawks’ Underdogs Aim to ‘Finish Off’ Success Stories Hoisting Lombardi Trophy

Returning to the Super Bowl for the first time in 11 years, the Seattle Seahawks have assembled the perfect blend of experience and youth in all three phases, assembling a roster full of star power with veteran stalwarts and high-upside rookies alike.

But as is often the case for teams that manage to advance to the NFL’s biggest stage, the Seahawks didn’t make it this far simply because of All-Pro talents such as Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Leonard Williams. Or off of the backs of former top-five picks in Sam Darnold and Devon Witherspoon. To win 14 games in the regular season and defeat a pair of division rivals in the playoffs, they needed contributions from players who didn’t come from such heralded beginnings.

‘I’m a Seahawk, Damnit’: Could John Benton Stick Around Post-Super Bowl With Young O-Line Nucleus?

With Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak expected to take the Las Vegas Raiders vacant head coaching job, it has been widely speculated that the play caller will bring offensive line coach John Benton along with him to the Sin City.

But with such decisions not to be made until after Super Bowl LX on Sunday, even considering his previous connections working with Kubiak both in New Orleans and Seattle as well as coaching under Kubiak’s father Gary in Houston, Benton staying put in the Pacific Northwest should not be ruled out.

Speaking with the Emerald City Spectrum during Thursday’s media scramble at the San Jose Convention Center, when asked about whether or not he could provide an answer on the possibility of following Kubiak to Las Vegas on the heels of speaking glowingly about his current offensive line group, Benton emphatically responded, “I’m a Seahawk, damnit!”
