Expects to be ready for camp
Nwosu (pectoral) indicated Wednesday that he "absolutely" expects to be ready for the start of training camp, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Nwosu is coming off a season-ending torn pectoral that he suffered this past October, but the edge rusher appears to be progressing well -- barring any setbacks, the 27-year-old is poised to reclaim his key role in the Seahawks defense this coming season. Prior to his injury, Nwosu -- who racked up a career high 9.5 sacks in 2022 -- recorded 16 tackles and 2.0 sacks in six regular-season games last year.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Looking to shine in new role
Nwosu feels that his new situation in Seattle is "Like a breath of fresh air," that will allow him to "really be able to shine and put my name out there," after four years in a limited role with the Chargers, Michael Baca of NFL.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The Seahawks certainly feel that Nwosu is ready to be a full-time starting pass rusher after signing him to a two-year, $20 million contract this offseason. The 25-year-old started to shoulder a larger role during his final season with the Chargers in 2021, starting 15 of 17 games and registering career highs with 40 tackles and five sacks while playing 744 defensive snaps. Nwosu has flashed the potential to be an effective pass rusher with 15 career sacks, but he will have the opportunity to show his overall versatility in new Seattle's newly implemented defensive system under first-year coordinator Clint Hurtt.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
Nwosu took advantage of increased opportunity with the Seahawks in 2022, as he posted career highs in tackles (67) and sacks (9.5) while averaging 51.5 defensive snaps per game. He has one year left on his contract and stands to receive a significant increase in pay if he can repeat that effort this season. Nwosu should have every opportunity to do so as long as he can hold off 2022 second-round pick Boye Mafe - who had a mediocre rookie season - and 2023 second-rounder Derick Hall.
