Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba has been cleared to participate in the upcoming Week 3 clash with the New Orleans Saints, despite battling an illness. His status had been uncertain leading into the matchup, raising questions about his readiness to contribute to the Seahawks’ offense.
While Smith-Njigba may not be at full strength, NFL Network insider Tom Pelissero confirmed that he will be active for the game. This is a significant development, as the Seahawks are facing a challenging situation with injuries impacting their roster.

In addition to Smith-Njigba’s condition, the Seahawks are dealing with a myriad of injuries that will affect their lineup. Key players who have been ruled out include running back Zach Charbonnet, cornerback Devon Witherspoon, and safeties Julian Love and Nick Emmanwori.
