On New Year’s Day, Seattle linebacker Jordyn Brooks was helped off the field with the first major injury of his career.
Brooks’ availability for the opener was another piece of good news for the Seahawks as they enter a season with expectations of playoff contention. Rookie wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who had surgery to repair a small fracture in his wrist a couple of weeks ago, is expected to play against the Rams. And fellow rookie Devon Witherspoon has returned to practice, raising the likelihood he returns soon after missing a significant chunk of training camp with a hamstring injury.
Seattle will likely limit his snap count early on. Wagner’s re-signing this offseason was partly protection in case Brooks’ rehab followed a more traditional schedule. Seattle also has Devin Bush, who could spell both Brooks and Wagner.
