Seahawks breathe a sigh of relief as Smith-Njigba set to face Saints
The Seattle Seahawks found themselves holding their breath as leading receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba was unexpectedly listed as questionable for their Week 3 matchup against the New Orleans Saints. The late addition to the injury report raised concerns among fans and teammates alike, but it appears the team can breathe easy as game day approaches.
Smith-Njigba, who emerged as a vital part of the Seahawks’ offensive strategy, developed an illness on Friday that prompted the team’s decision to monitor his condition closely. However, reports indicate that the ailment is not serious. ESPN’s Adam Schefter characterized it as simply “a bug,” suggesting it is unlikely to hinder his participation in Sunday’s game.
As the team assessed Smith-Njigba’s status, they remained optimistic about his readiness. The coaching staff wanted to evaluate how he felt on game day before making any final decisions. Given his pivotal role in the Seahawks’ offense, his presence on the field will be crucial as they look to secure a victory against a formidable Saints squad.
With kickoff approaching, the Seahawks and their fans anxiously await confirmation of Smith-Njigba’s availability, hopeful that their star receiver will be back in action to help lead the charge.
